Helena is the intelligent, horse-mad daughter of a British chieftan who is suddenly betrothed to a warrior who becomes the Roman emperor Constantius. Helena spends her life seeking truth in the religions, mythologies, and philosophies of the declining ancient world—but to no avail. Eventually she discovers truth in Christianity—and literally in the Cross of Christ.
This edition of Helena by Evelyn Waugh includes an introduction by George Weigel, as well as discussion questions designed to help deepen the reading experience for both individuals and reading groups.
