Title : Joy - Georges Bernanos - book

Summary :

“He wrote the most beautiful scenes of modern fiction, in terms of depth and power.”

André Malraux

Daughter of the lower middle class, Chantal de Clergerie illuminates the world around her with her grace and joy. When she meets Abbot Cénabre, it is God Himself who responds to the impostor through her. For in Cénabre, the supernatural battle that God and Satan have been waging since the dawn of time for the conquest of the human soul is played out.

Novelist, journalist, committed writer, visionary, Georges Bernanos was a soldier of the First World War, an anti-Franco witness during the Spanish Civil War, and a slayer of fascism. From Brazil, where he settled in 1938, he became one of the voices of the French Resistance until 1945, the year of his return to France.

His work is rich and varied: novels, short stories, essays and even theatre and opera.
