About this product

Product Information

In this spiritual autobiography, Olivier Clement (1921-2009) describes his childhood and youth in an atheist family in a village north-west of Montpellier in southern France. Despite his sense of wonder at the beauty of his surroundings, the dazzling landscapes of the Midi, this young Mediterranean pagan nevertheless suffered from existential angst. At university and in the Resistance during the Second World War, he searched vainly for the answers that no-one could give. After the war, alone in Paris as a young teacher, he was all but overcome by despair and the temptation to commit suicide. The chance purchase of an icon (a deisis) and the reading of The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church by the eminent Orthodox theologian Vladimir Lossky led him to search out its author. Under Lossky's influence, he became a Christian, also becoming his friend and disciple, instrumental in bringing Lossky's books to publication, all of which-excepting The Mystical Theology-were issued posthumously after his early death. Clement himself became a prolific author of spiritual books, perhaps the best known in the English-speaking world being The Roots of Christian Mysticism. Olivier Clement lived and worked in the centre of Paris-the 'City of Light' of the champions of the so-called Enlightenment. Reading his story, however, we come to understand why and how this boy from the dazzling Midi learned to sing instead of Christ, the True Light (John 1:29). First published in 1975 when he was 52, the story stops shortly after his baptism, for, far from being a conventional autobiography, it is the account of how he was led to see beyond the sensuous sun of the Mediterranean and to discover, or rather to be found by, 'the Other Sun'-Christ, the 'Sun of Righteousness' (Malachi 4:2).

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

Book arrived safely packaged in perfect order. Item as described, new. Thank you Rarewaves Outlet. Fascinating book, great addition to my collection. Great price. Would recommended this seller. No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
