A review by leelulah
Pensées by Blaise Pascal
5.0
I sure do have a lot to think about after reading this in its entirety, and worse, in a day. I am impressed at Pascal's clarity and present value of his message, considering this was written 300+ years ago.
Even getting more difficult for those who are not familiar with latin or Bible towards the end, it's worth reading. I have had the luck to be able to read the edition with T.S. Eliot's introduction right from Project Gutenberg. I do recommend that one as well, if you can find it in a printed version, so as not to be desperately scrolling through endless pages.
A lot of what I had been discussing and thinking about in my actual process of converting is present here, and exposed with such intelligence and apparent simplicity that it's frightening.
