de Chardin, Pierre Teilhard, — Letters from a Traveller.

NY, Harper Torchbooks, (1962). VG PB. A great spirit's French and Catholic culture responding warmly to the Chinese scene within the total world. Vigorous and. poetic, the letters illumine the line of development that Teilhard's thought followed and reveal a most remarkable man. Forbidden by his Superiors to teach or publish, he took advantage of his exile to make a series of astonishing journeys in the least known and least hospitable parts of Asia, and therefore made contributions of the highest value to the study of the origins of man.
