This volume speaks powerfully to that enduring reality, with evocative prose reflections on the movement of man at work, play, and study, a series of striking individual portraits, and poetry selections from Péguy’s Mysteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe second volume of translations by Julian Green of Péguy into English (published as \u003ci\u003eMen and Saints \u003c\/i\u003ein 1943), \u003ci\u003eSaints and Sinners \u003c\/i\u003ecaptures what Green sees as Péguy’s greatest gift as a man and poet: “to speak intelligibly to all people, and to help them.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe disregard of sinners for saints and despite this the salvation of sinners by saints, this is the whole of Christian history.\u003c\/em\u003e (Charles Péguy)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles Péguy \u003c\/b\u003e(1873–1914) was an acclaimed French poet, essayist, publisher, and editor of the magazine \u003ci\u003eLes Cahiers de la Quinzaine\u003c\/i\u003e.
