12mo - 19 x 12 cm.; 93 pp. Light tan wraps with red and black lettering. Second edition. Volume 1 of the "Problemes Actuels" from this publisher. An expanded and edited version of a conference held in Paris at the theatre Marigny on February 8th, 1939. The foreword written by Maritain, is dated in Chicago of the following year. Text is in French. General soiling to the covers and wear to the cover edges. Reminds me of Houselander's "The War is the Passion", when Catholic thinkers tried to make sense of the hell visited upon earth by the conflict of the Second World War, the purgative writings of the twentieth century.
