Synopsis

Basic Verities is a collection of variegated excerpts from Claude Péguy’s essays and poetry. First published in 1943, in the midst of the Nazi occupation of France, the volume arrived at a time when Péguy and his legacy had taken on a new significance for the French people. The spiritual and patriotic power of his prose and poetry gave a voice to the nation’s suffering and its yearning for the restoration of liberty and happiness. The selections in this volume examine truth and justice; poverty and capital; the honor and dignity of work; social rights and duties; and the distinctive characteristics of Judaism and Christianity.Adroitly compiled and translated by Julian Green, Basic Verities illustrates Péguy’s lifelong desire for the twofold revolution of justice and mercy in the social order.
