Gerald Vann

Eugene Iretnev had everything he need to succeed in life; an admirable education at home, high honours when he graduated in law at Petersburg University, and connections in the highest society through his recently deceased father. His one downfall was his love and sexual affair for a peasant woman. Once married, he tried to discontinue his "meetings" with the peasant woman, but found it to be impossible to live with... He must kill one of them... his wife or the peasant woman... or maybe himself. This great story is written with two alternate endings.Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher.

The first six chapters represent the substance of A Lenten course of sermons preached at Westminster Cathedral in 1947.

A discussion of various problems in the modern world, such as noise and over activism, and how to overcome or remedy each of these.

A discussion of modern issues, such as the nature of freedom, materialism, happiness, marriage, peace and sorrow, which Vann approaches using the philosophy of St Thomas Aquinas and some modern concepts to navigate a way through them; for, he says, these modern problems are really the same problems that have raised their heads in other ages, and wisdom is ageless.

A paraphrasing or meditation on St John's Gospel, intended to enable adult readers to understand and follow St John's thought, catching something of its richness and depth.

A Lenten course of seven sermons preached at the Church of Our Lady of Pity, London, in 1949, exploring each of the sorrows of Our Lady.
