From Bede's \u003ci\u003eLife of Cuthbert\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLives of the Abbots of Wearmouth and Jarrow\u003c\/i\u003e to the anonymous\u003ci\u003e Voyage of St Brendan\u003c\/i\u003e - a whimsical mixture of fact and fantasy that describes a quest for paradise on earth - these are vivid accounts of the profoundly spiritual and passionately heroic lives of Christian pioneers and saints. Both vital religious writings and a revealing insight into the reality of life at a formative time for the church, they describe an era of heroism and bitter conflict, and the rapid spread of the Christian faith.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
