B, Wyndham Lewis, Sheed and Ward, 1962, 197 pp., $4.50. Reviewed by Sister Mary Thaddeus, S. S. J, While primarily a biography of a universally recognized great writer, THE SHADOW OF CERVANTES is far more than that. It is the study of an age,—an age. in which Spain gave abundantly to the literary and artistic world. The author evokes the spirit of Cervantes amid present day Shadow of RVANTES WYNDH. surroundings. He gives the reader an insight into the poli tical, economic, and religious aspects of Spain, traces the emergence of Spanish drama and poetry, describes the coun try and its peoples, handling this wealth of material with his accustomed craftsmanshio. While he gives priority to the inimitable Don Quixote and the other works of Cervantes, Mr. Lewis also briefly delinea tes such eminent Spaniards as St. Theresa of Avila, Lope de Vega, Catherine of Aragon, John of the Cross, Louis de Leon and others whose lives and works have left their impact on the* cultural or religious life of their country. To Cervantes he accords un fathomable genius and he tran slates the apparent absurdities of the Don into characteristics of compelling worth and beauty. This work on Cervantes could not have been written without vast research to which the size- Among the many receptions and entertainments for the visi tors was a party Wednesday night, April 24th, at the Knights of Columbus Hall. Three hundred of the Spanish sailors attended the 10 o’clock Mass at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist on Sunday, April 28th. The Mass was cele brated by their chaplain. Fol- able bibliography gives ample proof. Throughout the account the author frequently affirms or denies past assumptions on the subject, questions interpre tations of critics or challenges their views. Written in Lewis’ s mathcless style, THE SHADOW OF CER VANTES is a work rich in lit erary value and enjoyment. JUDGEMENT OF THE SEA, by Gertrud von LeFort, 1962, Regnery, 219 pp., $5. The novelist, Gertrud von LeFort, shares in common with other talented German writers, such as Elizabeth Langaesser and Reinhold Schneider, the dis tinction of being practically un known and unread in America, It is true enough that it takes time for the genius of one nation to make its appeal to another, particularly when twice in half a century they have been at each other’s throat. Although we have, at times, been able to rise above the petty loyalties of nationalism (as distinct from patriotism) and accept the works of Goethe, Mann, and an occasional middle-brow play by Schiller, relatively little Ger man literary talent has come to us. Only now is it beginning. The best of the lot, by far, is Gertrud von LeFort. In all her works, the passe partout of von LeFort’s suc cess is the judicious use of Christian symbolism. An ar tist like Baroness von LeFort uses poetic energy not to widen but to lessen the gap separat ing the realities of life and its mysteries. The scurf sym bolism of, say, a Tennessee Williams, or, going back a few years, F. Scott Fitzgerald, does just the opposite. God and man are thrown so far apart that perversion and drunkeness seem not only natural but the inevitable. These men are good writers but it does not follow that they produce good litera ture. If a novelist wishes to use extensive symbolism, he must recognize that the basis of all symbolism is the Divine symbol of man made in the image of God. If he turns it around and puts God in the image of man, he drags the reader into a pagan existentionalism lowing the Mass, accompanied by their own 12-piece band, they sang the “Salve.’’ Thousands of visitors toured the Juan Sebantian de Elcano while it was in port, docked at Ocean Terminal. Huguenin Thomas, Jr., and Mrs. Thomas along with Com mander Harry Powers, U.S.M., Commander Naval Reserve Training Center, were in charge of all arrangements in Savannah. Past grand knight Chris E. Hernandez, of Savannah Council #631, was in charge of the Knight’s program of entertain ment. Serrans To Hear SAVANNAH—Bishop Thom as J. McDonough will be speak er at the May 15th dinner of the Serra Club of Savannah. The Dinner is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the "Rebel Room’’ of Johnnie Ganem’s Restaur ant. Thomas N. McCarthy is pres ident of the Club which was founded several years ago and has as its aim the fostering of vocations to the Preisthood in the Diocese of Savannah. which, bizarrely, reverses the age old question; "What does it profit a man if he gains his soul and suffers the loss of the whole world?’’ In a country where the Bible continues as the national best seller and, at the same time, the book with the least influ ence on the personal lives of its readers, it is not surpris ing that fictional literature bas ed on Scripture ends by being popular but ineffectual. The Christian intellectual is inter ested in religion but seldom in being religious. This Janus pat tern allows him to accept and praise artists like von LeFort, especially if they have a cer tain amount of dinner jacket value. There are four novellas in JUDGEMENT OF THE SEA, The relation of the idea to the story and not the story to the idea is the key to understand ing each one. As always, von LeFort is better meditated than read. If meditation is asking too much, read the book twice. That will have to do.

Lay Catholics— (Continued from Page 1) the teaching authorities in the Church must accept this compe tence where it exists and re joice in the opportunities for good it offers for their guid ance.’’ The layman may find, Cardi nal Cushing says, that "his new role on occasion generates mis understanding and even creates new problems," but he in turn "must strive to stimulate in his own disposition" that "same spirit of patience he expects in Church authority." As for the bishops, the Car dinal says, they are obliged to preserve, without change es sential Christian doctrine,’’ but "they must encourage pub lic opinion, and the private judg ment in which it originates, within those wide boundaries where its contribution will be helpful to a fuller understanding and a broader application of the Christian message."
