STAGES ON THE ROAD by Sigrid Undset

Description

This forgotten treasure from the Nobel Prize winning author of KRISTIN LAVRANSDATTER is a fascinating collection of saints’ lives, a prophetic critique of modernity, and a surprisingly contemporary take on being Catholic–in particular a Catholic woman– in a sometimes hostile secular world.  Undset introduces readers to the stories of somewhat forgotten Catholic figures like St. Angela Merici and the English martyrs Margaret Clitherow and Robert Southwell; people who stood fast to their faith in the face of both intellectual and political hostility.  Paper.
