The Song of Bernadette is a novel by Franz Werfel that tells the story of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to Bernadette Soubirous in Lourdes, France, in 1858. The novel follows the life of Bernadette from her childhood to her death, and explores the themes of faith, doubt, and the power of belief. Werfel wrote the novel after visiting Lourdes in 1940, while fleeing the Nazis. He promised to write about the experience if he managed to escape to America. The novel was a bestseller and was adapted into a film in 1943.
Franz Viktor Werfel was a Czech novelist, playwright, and poet whose career spanned World War I, the Interwar period, and World War II.
