Vann, Gerald. The Water and the Fire. London, The Catholic Book Club, 1954. 14cm x 22cm. 187 pages. Original hardcover with dustjacket in protective Mylar. Torn dustjacket, otherwise very good condition. The world of today is oppressed by fear and here Father Vann studies the causes of our being condemned to live in a world made, too often, hideous and menacing by man’s brutality and stupidity. He shows us to how great an extent we have lost our roots and how a civilization which has lost its roots must wither and die. We are losing contact with Nature and the rhythm of the seasons, while in the present breakdown of family life we are losing our understanding of the full meaning and richness of ‘home’ and of its symbols. Above all, we are losing our roots in that infinite world to which all these other things point and in which alone we can find our ultimate fulfilment. [Note to Sheed & Ward edition]
