The Simplicity of the West - Softcover
Professor Milward of Sophia University, Tokyo, asks, What are the features of the genius of Western civilization that have so influenced the course of human history? And in our age, where has the West gone wrong? This distinguished literary and cultural scholar, resident in the East for the last forty years, argues that tradition and nature are fundamental to the soul of the West, and that a renewal of appreciation for these is essential to our recovery.

Book Description Pictorial Wraps. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Saint Austin Literature & Ideas Series. "The West has lost most of its former glory and now seems to have lost its soul. Literary scholar Fr. Milward, resident in Japan for forty years, suggests that the answer is a return to nature (an appreciation of creation) and to tradition. When Western man rediscovers Christendom and its salvific message, he will find the solution to modern crises.

An exhilarating tour of Christian civilisation with a profound message." Printed in Great Britain. A very nice clean tight solid softcover copy. 93pp. Uncommon. SB-59. Seller Inventory # 020519
