Critique of Pure Passion was largely written in Mozambique in 1997 and first published the following year in Uruguay. It is composed of 358 compacts, each of which is a unit in itself.

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 88 In the early days of World War II, a Russian exile in London was asked to talk to Anglican theological students about suffering; this booklet is the text of that talk. Underlying all that Iulia de Beausobre had to say is the assumption that ’something can be made of suffering’, as Patrick Thompson wrote in his Foreword to the original edition. She did not speak from hearsay, having shared personally in the mental and physical suffering of the Russian people in the first half of the twentieth century. She had already described something of that experience in The...
