Holding
the Stirrup
Baroness Elisabeth von Guttenberg
In an older day it was customary for a woman to hold
her husband's stirrup when he mounted to go into battle. That gesture became
a symbol of herfidelity and courage while he was gone.Baroness Elisabeth von
Guttenberg, daughter of the General Baron von der Tann-Rathsamhausen of
Bavaria and the Countess Emma Mikes of Hungary,for several years held the
stirrup for her husband, who died in his lifelong fight against the evils of
Hitler and of Communism.Elisabeth was reared in the aristocratic tradition -
Goeth and Schiller, Bach and Beethoven, a summer home in the 500 year
oldcastle of Tann and a winter home in Nurnberg, member of the Old World
society of Berlin and Budapest, host to Bruno Walter, Kaiser Wilhelmand
Emperor Karl of Hungary and eventually wife of the Baron George-Enoch von
und zu Guttenberg, the leader of the "White Army"that liberated Munich from
the Spartacists after the first World War.But more than nostalgia for the
grace and security of the past, Elisabeth's life story reflects world events
from the turn of thecentury to the present, from the decline of the
Hapsburgs to the tragic aftermath of the Third Reich. It is a story of
heroism andself-sacrifice - the struggle waged by a nobility which, for all
its faults and omissions, was the last bulwark of Christianity in Hitler's
Germany,and the last organized defender of civilization which Hitler brought
to such a
terrifying end.

The Picture of Dorian Gray
Oscar Wilde (Edited by Joseph Pearce)
In true Faustian tradition The Picture of Dorian Gray
tells the tale of a young man who sells his soul to the devil in return for
youthful immortality, only to discover that the "devil's bargain" is no
bargain at all. "What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and
lose his own soul?" When Dorian Gray is asked this question he knows the
answer. He has learned his lesson the hard way and has destroyed the lives
of others into the bargain. The moral is inescapable, making The Picture of
Dorian Gray more than merely a classic of Victorian literature. It is a
classic of Christian literature also. This edition of Wilde's novel is
edited by Joseph Pearce, author of The Unmasking of Oscar Wilde, and
contains critical essays that look at the work from a tradition-oriented
perspective. (also availabe with this title:
Picture of Dorian Gray: Study Guide)

For
Altar and Throne
the rising in the Vendee
By: Michael Davies
This is the story of the people of the Vendee who remained
faithful to the Vicar of Christ and attached to their parishes and their
priests, in spite of the cruelty of persecution to which they were subjected
during the French Revolution. There is no more noble or inspiring story in
the entire history of the Church than that of the heroic struggle of the
people of the Vendee to defend their altars and their King.
