Product Details
By Paul Claudel
Ways and Crossways, unique among Paul Claudel’s many literary works for its exclusive publication in English translation, is a collection of essays and letters on subjects ranging from art and poetry to the physics of the Eucharist and the problem of evil. Unrelated in topic and dynamic in tone, the pieces are unified in their display of a prodigious Catholic imagination. Claudel sees every created thing as an opportunity to encounter the living God, “for in all God is always Now, and it is in the Now that He is present to all things. It is in this Now of His that all things find their beginning and their end.”
First published in 1933 in collaboration with Claudel’s friend and colleague Monsignor John O’Connor, Ways and Crossways displays the expanse of Claudel’s synthetic genius as he charts the many and varied paths by which God draws souls into the divine presence.
Paul Claudel (1868–1955) was a French poet, dramatist, and essayist, and a convert to Roman Catholicism. A six-time nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature, Claudel achieved prominence in twentieth-century French literature for his unique prose style and powerful verse dramas. The 1924 drama Le Soulier de satin (The Satin Slipper) is widely recognized as his masterpiece.

We love to make you smile! 😊
I've purchased several items from you folks. The quality is unbelievable and the service matches that quality. The prices are so much lower than a standard jewelry store and again the quality is way better. They are outstanding as a gift. Thank you all.
Purchased a rosary for my nephew's confirmation. I had some questions along the way and customer service was very receptive and kind... Hard to find such good customer service these days. It was very refreshing and very much appreciated!
I have ordered a few things from Catholic Shop, including medals with engraving and candles. As for the medals and engraving, super job and very well made and dear to my heart. I can not say enough about Catholic Shop, their customer service and guarantee.
