description: This major prose work originally published in English in 1985 is both a moving spiritual self-portrait and an unflinching inquiry into the genesis of our modern afflictions. A man who was raised a Catholic in rural Lithuania lived through the Nazi occupation of Poland and emerged first in Europe and then in America as one of our most important men of letters speaks here of the inherited dilemmas of our civilization in a voice recognizable for its honesty and passion.
