Bücher von Charles Williams

This work is Charles Williams' abridgement of a study on Shakespeare produced by Sir Edmund Chambers in 1930. Williams intended his version to chronicle Shakespeare's life in a more accessible and personal way. Charles Williams (1886-1945) was a British theologian, playwright, novelist and poet. As a member of the 'Inklings' literary group at Oxford, his work supported a strong sense of narrative. For Williams, spiritual exchanges were an undercurrent to life, and his literary explorations into Christian fantasy writing, such as 'Descent into Hell' (1937), earned him many followers. Chambers (1886-1954) was an English literary critic and Shakespeare scholar. This classic work is now being republished in a new modern edition with a specially commissioned introductory biography.

Minha intenção inicial era dar a este livro o título de Uma História da Cristandade: mudei para que leitor nenhum fosse induzido a erro. O frontispício é uma reprodução de um quadro de Ludovico Brea. A presidência do Espírito Santo sobre a "carne gloriosa e santa" ("la carne gloriosa e santa") está ali exposta no alto; embaixo aparece a inumação da Carne consumada. Ao fundo do primeiro ponto encontra-se o estado conhecido como Visão Beatífica; abaixo do segundo, o princípio chamado de Tormento do Inferno. Entre os dois pontos extremos aparece a grande massa de almas criadas; as que estão na terra e, além da linha dos seres angélicos, as que estão "no céu". Há rostos reconhecíveis, mas são fugazes; são passageiros seguindo por uma ou por outra das Vias. Mas o quadro, em cima e em baixo, representa a coinerência de toda a Cidade remida.As tímidas alusões a datas e as ainda mais tímidas citações da teologia relacionam-se em geral aos mesmos pontos. Fica a critério de qualquer leitor queixar-se da omissão de muitíssimos nomes, de pessoas e acontecimentos que tiveram imensa importância para a Cristandade. Mas, embora tenham sido importantes, a omissão deles aqui não tem importância. Era inevitável que este livro específico falasse de Dante e não de Descartes, uma vez que seus temas especiais estão muito mais presentes em Dante que em Descartes. Contudo, espero que a curva da história tenha sido seguida corretamente, como também espero que todas as datas e detalhes sejam precisos. Se cometi algum erro em alguma parte, não foi por falta de consultas aos especialistas, mas sim pela mera estupidez da natureza humana. Houve um esforço para garantir a proporção; não se permitiu que o capítulo final sobre os tempos modernos "roubasse o livro". Uma máxima que poderia ter aparecido na página de título, mas que, de forma mais discreta, está colocada aqui, é uma frase que eu outrora supunha ter sido extraída de Agostinho; dizem-me, porém, os peritos que não foi e, sendo assim, ignoro sua fonte. A frase diz: "Isto também és Tu; e isto também não és Tu". Como lema para a vida, ela é de valor inestimável, e ela - ou seu inverso - resume a história da Igreja cristã.Peço permissão para acrescentar que os temas deste livro também são discutidos, de outros pontos de vista, em outros livros meus, como em Descent into Hell [Descida ao inferno], He came down from Heaven [Ele desceu do céu] e Taliessen through Logres [Taliessin através de Logres]. O primeiro é ficção; o segundo não é; o terceiro é poesia, seja isso ficção ou não.

Do you mean, ' Sir Giles said, 'that the thing never gets smaller?''Never, ' the Prince answered. 'So much of its virtue has entered into its outward form that whatever may happen to it there is no change. From the beginning it was as it is now.''Then by God, sir, ' Reginald Montague exclaimed, 'you've got the transport of the world in your hands.'Neither of the two men made any answer. The Persian, sitting back in his chair, and Sir Giles, sitting forward on the edge of his, were both gazing at the thing which lay on the table. It was a circlet of old, tarnished, and twisted gold, in the centre of which was set a cubical stone measuring about half an inch every way, and having apparently engraved on it certain Hebrew letters. Sir Giles picked it up, rather cautiously, and concentrated his gaze on them. The motion awoke a doubt in Montague's mi
