Pensées
Translated with a Revised Introduction by
A. J. Krailsheimer
This collection of short writings ponders
the contrast between man in his fallen
state and in a state of grace. It is a work
of extraordinary power; a lucid, eloquent,
and often satirical look at human illusions,
self-deceptions, and follies.
