Focusing on the lives and intellectual contributions of Jacques and Raïssa Maritain, this biography reveals their commitment to social justice, opposition to the Vichy regime, and efforts against intellectual repression within the church. Drawing from unpublished materials in the Maritain Archives, it highlights their contemplative lifestyle and connections with revolutionary artists. The translation by Bernard Doering makes this essential work accessible to a wider audience, appealing to both scholars and those interested in modern Catholic intellectual history.
