Description
The Lady Poverty, written by Montgomery Carmichael and published in 1901, is a book that explores the virtues and values of poverty as seen through the eyes of St. Francis of Assisi. The book is divided into three parts, each of which delves into a different aspect of poverty.The first part of the book discusses the origins of poverty and how it has been viewed throughout history. The author examines the biblical and philosophical roots of poverty, as well as the ways in which it has been idealized and romanticized by various cultures and religions.The second part of the book focuses on the life of St. Francis of Assisi, who is perhaps the most famous advocate of poverty in Christian history. The author explores the ways in which St. Francis lived out his commitment to poverty, and how his example has influenced others throughout the centuries.The final part of the book looks at the practical implications of poverty, both for individuals and for society as a whole. The author argues that poverty can be a force for good, as it can inspire people to live more simply and to focus on the things that truly matter in life.Overall, The Lady Poverty is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of an often-misunderstood concept. It challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about poverty and to consider the ways in which it can be a positive force in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
