Product Description

The Light Invisible presents a series of interconnected supernatural short stories by the celebrated and prolific English author Robert Hugh Benson (1871-1914), a member of the famed Benson literary clan. The author's brother Arthur remarked of this volume, "The Light Invisible always seemed to me a beautiful book .... It was the first book in which he spread his wings, and there is, I think, a fresh and ingenuous beauty about it, as of a delighted adventure among new faculties and powers." Robert Hugh Benson enjoyed a career that lasted little over a decade. In addition to a great many non-fiction works, he authored a series of twenty novels and short story collections that combined a specific moral orientation with an astonishing popularity among the general public of the early twentieth century. As an Anglican and later a Catholic priest, Father Benson was in great demand as a speaker in both England and the United States. The most sensational English convert from the Anglican Communion to Catholicism since John Henry Newman, Benson was a son of the Archbishop of Canterbury. He wrote from a Catholic perspective, but with real understanding and sympathy for the Protestant position.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, Quick Read, Oct 2 2007

By Timothy C. Mahowald - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Light Invisible (Paperback)

This book was not what I was expecting, but a great addition to the library of any Catholic Literature collector. A slightly different style for Benson, The Light Invisible is a collection of stories in the life of a friend of his, related entirely second-hand. The individual stories tell of preternatural and seemingly supernatural experiences, told from a subtly Catholic-undertoned viewpoint. Like all of Benson's works, the undertones are what distinguish the book from so many others available because, while the story is being told, the reader is being told something on the surface while at the same time being given a sublime understanding of the intent of the story from the cozy perspective of the author. Ingenius writing from a brilliant author in his typically clever prose.
