The Dawn Of All

Bag om The Dawn Of All

The Dawn Of All is a novel written by Robert Hugh Benson that explores the themes of religion, faith, and the end of the world. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the life of a Catholic priest named Father Francis who becomes convinced that the end of the world is near. As he struggles with his own faith and the doubts of his congregation, Father Francis begins to see signs of the apocalypse all around him. He becomes convinced that the only way to save humanity is through a radical transformation of society and the establishment of a new world order.The novel is a powerful exploration of the human condition and the struggle for meaning and purpose in a world that seems to be falling apart. Benson's writing is both poetic and thought-provoking, and he skillfully weaves together themes of religion, philosophy, and social commentary to create a compelling and unforgettable story.Throughout the novel, Benson challenges readers to question their own beliefs and to consider the deeper meaning of life and existence. The Dawn Of All is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today, offering a powerful message of hope and redemption in the face of uncertainty and despair.Once he slipped to a sitting position, drew back the little curtain over the porthole, and stared out. There was little to be seen; but by the sight of a lake of soft light that slid past at some incalculable depth a dozen miles away, he perceived that they had left the sea far behind and were spinning over the land of France. He looked out long, revolving thoughts and conjectures, striving to find some glimmer of memory by which he might adjust these new experiences; but there was none. He was like a child, with the brain of a man, plunged into a new mode of existence, where everything seemed reversed, and yet astonishingly obvious; it was the very simplicity that baffled him. The Christian religion was true down (or up) even to the Archangels that stand before God and control the powers of the air.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
