Review of dedicated to Br. Stabin John and Fer Uña.
Upon popular request, I have decided to write this review. I do not usually write, because as a writer I'm too deep. However, this book written by François-René de Chateaubriand, which in the words of Charles Ryder/Evelyn Waugh could be called him the forerunner of the great pepul of Christianity, since while there were writers who wrote works on the martyrs Christians thus to pen flies Calderón de la Barca, Corneille, Racine and many others I can think of. The genus, which is the most glorious for all Catholic writer could not be understood. Sui for the western American cinema is his most characteristic genre. In Exchange, the novels of the early Christians, or Peplum of triumphant Christianity. There are of course many exceptions, but this is a genre that very few Catholic Novelists have resisted, and also our enemies who have know it strikes back writing novels about what is good, that it was paganism, and bad that was Christianity, and as because the Roman Empire collapsed. I unlike Goebbels does not think that a lie repeated a million times in this case by Gibbon (a man who wanted to be Catholic and might not be so hence his despair), or Catherine Nixey more recently than in his ill-fated book "Age of darkness" did not doubt on repeating the same nonsense that Gibbon. Nixey regarding leave, that better weekly Catholic talk for me as did Stephen Boyd, who gave Parliament to James Mason in the wonderful Samuel Bronston, and Anthony Mann film the fall of the Roman Empire, which no doubt inspired the Gladiator < /B14 > Ridley Scott https://www.filmaffinity.com/es/film9... https://www.religionenlibertad.com/ed...
Certainly both the children of the light, and darkness will have realized the ties that bind our present with the ancient world especially Rome, of which the West is his son. We are greatly similar to the Romans in fact, there are some who think that we are in an era similar to the crisis of the third century. In reality we are sons of three great civilizations as brightly Henryk Sienkiewicz in which to me without discussion is the best novel of the triumphant Christianity, which is "Quo Vadis" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... _ Vadis? ac = 1 & from_search = true https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Greece us gave wisdom, Rome force (even though our way of seeing the world, and also the law), and the Judeo-Christian heritage taught us perhaps the most important charity and love to God. Defend, and opt for Christianity, as we will see in a chapter of "martyrs or the triumph of the Christian religion" does not mean razing as prexistente, but free it from the negative, and improve it. Hence that Chateaubriand of his time at the start of his epic poem start giving thanks to the muses and the Holy Spirit. As we will see despite what say us the struggle of Christianity against the Empire. It was the struggle of the individual conscience, and the natural law against that God called the State, as you would say "the Lord of the world" pursues on behalf of tolerance, eliminating the rights of the subject. What is at issue here is harnessing it, and set limits without therefore recognize that it is necessary to find a form of Government, because the chaos is the worst thing that can be. Because nihilism does not bring freedom but pure Darwinism, and the law of the jungle, or the strongest. That is why it is a necessary evil. Worship the emperor could not be understood if it were because the true God was the State, serving of paganism by utility. This should not surprise us, that was a Machiavelli new-pagan https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... in the century who strengthen the authority of the Kings, and eliminate the morale of the art of Government. Then Botero, and the House would the reason of State. With Thomas Hobbes finally are seeing the end of religion and giving absolute power to the ruling https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... and John Locke final perversion emanating only what Parliament is morally, and what It is just. The infallibility of the cameras, and parliaments. For that reason be as pointed out sharp, and brilliantly Juan Manuel de Prada https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... the death of Christ according to the jurist Kesen (which satirizes Juan Manuel de Prada) would be wonderful because it was voted, in addition to form assemblies. Not have quoted to the illustration, or the French Revolution, because that much already known the author that this criticism I François-René de Chateaubriand.
I think, that it is good to tell that this book read it by stages and with strong prejudice mixed feelings as they say the English, or feelings. Although I liked that François-René de Chateaubriand was one of the great Catholic apologists (as most of the nobility, contrary to what is said was irreligious, volterian. The author again faith thanks to his sister, and the brutal persecution of the French Revolution). But after reading "the last abencerrajes" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... where was a eulogy of miscegenation, and attacked to Spain. Because one of the most positive qualities of Chateaubriand is that it is a defender of miscegenation, as shown by "Atala, and René" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... _ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... with interracial love between Indians and whites, also responding to the tradition of Jean Jacques Rosseau, and the Abbot of Bernardin of Saint-Pierre is a great love for nature and the natural environment https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/ 17856079.Bernardin_de_Saint_Pierre https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... . But returning to my impressions due to "the last padamsee" anti-Spanish trends I attributed to Chateaubriand, and so read with qualms "martyrs: the triumph of the Christian Religion '. He was unable to comprehend, because Hispania never appeared in the work, despite being one of the Empire's richest regions. This obsession with praising France. So I started to read "martyrs: the triumph of the Christian Religion '. Leave it for the reasons cited, but only to resume the reading of the same two years ago. During that time acknowledgement to François-René de Chateaubriand have contributed to the hispanofobia of the French Catholic writers Barbey D'Aurevilly, Georges Bernanos, François Mauriac, Jacques Maritain, even my beloved Maxence van der Meersch (which do not) (prevents that "bodies and souls" was my favorite novel). Certainly, of all the writers, I think that I have quoted Maxence van der Meersch, that is best writes, and the best novelist, so it is unfair his forgetfulness, and ostracism). https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

A few years ago I read the work of the great historian and Welsh Catholic writer Christopher Dawson "gods of the revolution", where I get to a thesis that I shared https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... (by the way to understand the French Revolution recommend strongly reading this book). In this book Christopher Henry Dawson was a defense of the other great apologist Catholic French (also legitimist and against the revolution) Joseph Le Maistre https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... (I tried to read (something, but I could not find him nothing recent edited in Spain, so I can't give you a trial of it). But I so far was a supporter of the thesis of Christopher Arthur Dawson. Until I read "the genius of Christianity" François-René de Chateaubriand and from hence my vision of Chateuabriand change forever, because I found one of the best books in favor of Catholicism, which have been written, and not only speaks of religion Catholic, but all that has contributed to the world. Topics in physics, medicine, literature, art history. In particular, and to understand the work of "the martyrs: the triumph of the Christian religion" I recommend chapter of the superiority of the Christian epic, the pagan, and though it is unpopular to say it has Chateaubriand is right and Tasso, Ariosto, Klopstock, Milton are far superior to the pagan writers. It is even able to partially redeem Voltaire, while crushing the enlightenment and the French Revolution. If someone reads my criticism would recommend you edit in all languages, but especially in English, and in Spanish "the genius of Christianity" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... & from_search = true in Spain this work has been published years ago, by the publishing house Citadel, and I don't know if it will do a remake, although it is needed, and more in these times where the faith in the West is under threat on all fronts. Only by the chapter in question is worth, which is re-edit that work. In addition, this work showed me, that Chateaubriand was not Spainphobia, not only that, but that proposed to the Congress of Vienna, which Spain will help quell the rebellion of the misnamed liberators, who imbued by liberalism and Freemasonry led a revolt of the American colonies against Spain, so it lost its colonies. However, it was not heard.
So I was prepared to read the "martyrs: the triumph of the Christian religion". A novel or epic poem, influenced by the "Odyssey" and the "Iliad" who, in the 19th century, and early 20th was very famous, and read. The Garzanti, which is an encyclopedia of literature left-leaning did not hesitate to make this work among the worthy of being summarized. Because we have a colossal job. Ana Ozores the protagonist of "La regenta" dreamed of becoming Cimodocea, in fact, one of the nightmares that the protagonist has is influenced by the novel by Chateaubriand https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... vivisimas descriptions. Regenta?AC=1 & from_search = true. The own Victor Hugo https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... , which in principle was Catholic, and then it was progressive, and I abandon the faith, although at his deathbed San Juan Bosco was very close to returning to the faith said " I will be Chateaubriand or nothing".
This work takes us through all parts of the Empire, and would say the legendary Michelin Flynn is a book Homerical. In fact Chateaubriand mimics the structure of the great Greek blind Rhapsody. TYa than the first Ulysses part Eudoro, as before https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9... & from_search = true , how much history in this case no Naausica, but also Cimocedea and Demodocus, who are descendants of Homer, also There is a prurient interest by Galerius by Cimodocea favorite Hierocles, suitors as they felt this attraction by Penelope breed. However, do not go to believe the wise users of Goodreads, that this work is a copy, but what it does is play that part of the reign of Diocleciona, and the persecution of Christians as then make Nicholas Wiseman in "Fabiola" https:// www.goodreads.com/book/show/1902905.F... & from_search = true (although this case Cardinal Wiseman talk persecution of Diocletian colleague in the West Maximiano Herculeo, defeated by) Constantine). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... & from_search = true https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... and more recently Taylor R. Marshall with his novel "The sword and serpent ' https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... & from_search = true book which is going to speak long and tended in Catholic Book Club https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... are invited to attend if they wish. Also my friend even if not this time the Spanish writer Manuel Alfonseca has treated this topic in his trilogy of family Aeolian https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... is interesting to highlight to users, who work is influenced by the time they wrote it for the ups and downs of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Empire, Diocletian is therefore inspired by Napoleon a man, which resulted in Chateaubriand emotions both admiration and rejection (to the) the place Chateaubriand and final is French and even if it is full of glory to France Napoleon ambition, although he had to do it at the expense of an insatiable in life sacrifice human). So Diocletian has a certain dignity. But Hierocles (a philosopher, appearing that it actually existed. It is believed that they could even be two characters). Hierocles is an allegory of the enlightenment rather than Voltaire his followers. Anyway the end of Hierocles reminiscent of Voltaire, I reject the confession, and died desperate among their own excrement. Yet frightened by his teachings opposed Helvétius who aspired to total atheism, that would inherit the Hébertists, and enraged. While Diocletian has greatness not Hierocles, and Galerius, something approaching the historical truth. In fact, except for aesthetic needs (the author is allowed to get into the story to St. Augustine, and St. Jerome. It is best to Lactantius, though Evelyn Waugh https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... poking it in "Helena". That was another reason why in principle I do not like the novel by Chateaubriand). St. Jerome, and St. Augustine anyway more glamorous than the martyrs are holy although San Protasio, San Gervasio, San Bonifacio, San Víctor, San Sebastián (will have more role in "Fabiola"), San Pacomio, San Ginés. Another slight defect, is France recall the chauvinism, the grandeur (I would have done the same) allusions to France, and the Kingdom of the Franks, by Zechariah, also leaves the legendary Pharamond, and how Christianity began among the Franks, Although I would have wait for Clovis, to his conversion. Perhaps the most beautiful part of the French episode the impossible love and rebellion and suicide of the Druid Veyeda. That love is more suggested than anything else. Another success of Chateaubriand is also the description of Eudoro, who is a hero with great force, and somewhat rebellious and stubborn before the total conversion is to be excommunicated. The description of the catacombs is also very nice. Fights between demons and angels, involved in the story. Indeed demons tempt Eudoro this perhaps be loan of Homer, and Milton https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
The second part, which is perhaps the most original action does not decay is strengthens the love between the son of Lastenes (Eudoro), and Cimodocea, is beautiful passage in Egypt, where emulating the book of Daniel this describes the future of humanity (remember that Creator Ranke) the story I think it influenced by Walter Scott https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... , to bear witness to the existence of God, and to understand him, and love him and see his hand in the evolution of history). In fact Walter Scott will be decisive for Nicholas Wiseman write "Fabiola", and John Henry Newman acknowledged their debt to him in "Apologia pro vita sua" https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... https:/ /www.goodreads.com/book/show/43958.Apo...
It is also very well described Santa Helena, perhaps not so much Constantine, perhaps led by the debt that Christians have with Chateaubriand has idealized it. I believe that the best of this great, providential man, but sometimes cruel has made it Evelyn Waugh in his novel "Helen '. If I had to meet with a chapter without a doubt the most current is the chapter, or canto XVI where Eudoro defends the Christian faith, against the pagan Symmachus (which is treated with much respect), and against Hierocles, representing atheism, and the deification of the State. This passage could quote even, and breaks many of the myths that Christianity destroy paganism and the Roman Empire. We see that the villains takes it more bloodthirsty as Galerius, impeccably well described, and does not hesitate to Chateaubriand hide their hits as a campaign against the Persians. It is true that Chateaubriand not quotes that it was he who made the first edict of tolerance, knowing is defeated, and Constantine, you would remove the Imperii, describes his painful illness. The end is tender epic and romantic is not only a praise to Holy love that two lovers profess themselves. I miss that today does not love as well. With all I forgive Goodreads users, if I must confess, that my favorite Christian heroine is not Cimodocea, but Syra/Miriam's "Fabiola" (which is one of my favorite characters.
The end is vividly present and will be until the end of time, because as says William Durant civilizations "die from the inside" https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= AglZYWUiWXc because there is no religion more persecuted than ours in countries Muslim, Communist, and even hampered by anti-Christian secularism of Western Governments. However, when our civilization is made pieces is very possible that we are witnessing its decline only the triumph of the martyrs will be remembered. Read it and enjoy the man who was ahead of Bulwer Lytton, Lew Wallace, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Louis de Wohl, Mika Waltari, Gilbert Sinoué, AK. Frailey, Stephanie Lansem, Arthur Powers, Jesús Sánchez Adalid, Manuel Alfonseca, and possibly to this list to join Juan Manuel de Prada. No, mon a mi bow before our common master.

The second part, which is perhaps the most original action does not decay is strengthens the love between the son of Lastenes (Eudoro), and Cimodocea, is beautiful passage in Egypt, where emulating the book of Daniel this describes the future of humanity (remember that Creator Ranke) the story I think it influenced by Walter Scott https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... , to bear witness to the existence of God, and to understand him, and love him and see his hand in the evolution of history). In fact Walter Scott will be decisive for Nicholas Wiseman write "Fabiola", and John Henry Newman acknowledged their debt to him in "Apologia pro vita sua" https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... https:/ /www.goodreads.com/book/show/43958.Apo...
It is also very well described Santa Helena, perhaps not so much Constantine, perhaps led by the debt that Christians have with Chateaubriand has idealized it. I believe that the best of this great, providential man, but sometimes cruel has made it Evelyn Waugh in his novel "Helen '. If I had to meet with a chapter without a doubt the most current is the chapter, or canto XVI where Eudoro defends the Christian faith, against the pagan Symmachus (which is treated with much respect), and against Hierocles, representing atheism, and the deification of the State. This passage could quote even, and breaks many of the myths that Christianity destroy paganism and the Roman Empire. We see that the villains takes it more bloodthirsty as Galerius, impeccably well described, and does not hesitate to Chateaubriand hide their hits as a campaign against the Persians. It is true that Chateaubriand not quotes that it was he who made the first edict of tolerance, knowing is defeated, and Constantine, you would remove the Imperii, describes his painful illness. The end is tender epic and romantic is not only a praise to Holy love that two lovers profess themselves. I miss that today does not love as well. With all I forgive Goodreads users, if I must confess, that my favorite Christian heroine is not Cimodocea, but Syra/Miriam's "Fabiola" (which is one of my favorite characters.
The end is vividly present and will be until the end of time, because as says William Durant civilizations "die from the inside" https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= AglZYWUiWXc because there is no religion more persecuted than ours in countries Muslim, Communist, and even hampered by anti-Christian secularism of Western Governments. However, when our civilization is made pieces is very possible that we are witnessing its decline only the triumph of the martyrs will be remembered. Read it and enjoy the man who was ahead of Bulwer Lytton, Lew Wallace, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Louis de Wohl, Mika Waltari, Gilbert Sinoué, AK. Frailey, Stephanie Lansem, Arthur Powers, Jesús Sánchez Adalid, Manuel Alfonseca, and possibly to this list to join Juan Manuel de Prada. No, mon a mi bow before our common master.

Magnifico, epico, solenne. Pecca di molti difetti: troppo romantico, troppo "turistico" (visita tutti i luoghi e incontra tutti i personaggi possibili o le loro tombe). Ma quando prende il volo con il suo tono solenne gli si perdona tutto.
