Synopsis

The Nemesis of Faith is a philosophical novel written by James Anthony Froude in 1849. The story follows the life of a young man named Markham who is struggling with his faith in Christianity. Markham is a student at Oxford University and is deeply influenced by the ideas of the German philosopher Friedrich Schelling. He begins to question the fundamental beliefs of Christianity and becomes increasingly disillusioned with the Church.Markham's crisis of faith is exacerbated by his relationships with two women: his cousin, Helen, who is a devout Christian, and his friend, Rose, who is a free-spirited atheist. Markham is torn between his love for Helen and his attraction to Rose, and his struggle to reconcile his feelings with his religious beliefs leads him to a mental breakdown.The novel explores themes of faith, doubt, reason, and love, and raises important questions about the nature of religion and the role of faith in modern society. Froude's writing is deeply philosophical and thought-provoking, and the novel has been praised for its nuanced portrayal of the complexities of religious belief.Overall, The Nemesis of Faith is a powerful and challenging novel that continues to be relevant today, as it raises important questions about the nature of faith and its place in contemporary society.It would have been nothing but a ""You must not."" He would defend the place against me as an enemy; but of my own soul might become what I could myself make of it; he would have been troubled enough to have known what to do with that. Well, now for my duties (I suppose I may be extreme in them), and the blue chintz curtains, and the Penny Club; and may God guide me!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Huntley Parsonage, September 4, 18 .I PROMISED so long ago to write to you, dear A rthur, that by this time, if you have not already forgotten me, you will at least have begun to think it desirable to forget me as soon as possible, for an ungrateful, good-for-nothing fellow ;but I am going to be very just, and pay heavy interest and I think letter debts are like all other debts. If you pay them when they are due, they are taken as a matter of course, and without gratitude ;but leave them till your poor creditor leaves off expecting, and then they fall in like a godsend. So I hope you are already delighted at the sight of my handwriting, and when you get to the end of these lo Dgsheets, which I am intending to fill to you, I shall be quite back again in my old favor.
