Reviews

“Maistre supplies a different answer to religion’s “cultured despisers.” Instead of turning inward to his feelings, Maistre looks out and challenges us to see, within the sufferings of this time, the glory to be revealed.” Christian Century

"Lebrun's expertise is apparent throughout the translation and is difficult to rival ... At times I even felt that I was reading de Maistre himself, and that is high praise." Nicholas Riasanovsky, Department of History, University of California.
"Lebrun not only masters the French text in the literary sense but has a grasp of historical background and of the nuance of allusions that saves him from anachronisms and contributes to the accuracy of the translation." Alan B. Spitzer, Department of History, University of Iowa.
