Reader's note

A wonderful copy of Aldous Huxley’s Grey Eminence: A Study in Religion and Politics. This is a biography of François Leclerc du Tremblay, aide to Cardinal Richelieu during the Thirty Years’ War, however more than a dry description Huxley integrates novelistic writing and philosophical essays into the history. Better known as Father Joseph, or l’éminence grise, was a spiritual leader and holy man noted for his faith and writings on theology. He was also politically very powerful, while running an international spy organisation he also organised battle plans, his actions leading to the death of thousands. Huxley explores how these two extremes could be reconciled within one man, and what the relationships between religion, politics and ethics are.
