«Sous le soleil de Satan» is the novel by Georges Bernanos, edition with excerpts and study material published by Larousse in paperback, in French.
A young Catholic priest, clumsy and fervent, ill-adapted to the world and to his church, perceives Satan in everyday life and sees the inner life of others with terrible clarity. His chance encounter with a young murderess links their destinies tragically. The novel addresses evil as a spiritual force and its role in human destiny.
Work originally published in 1926. This 1974 edition, from the Classiques Larousse collection, offers excerpts with biographical note, notes, critical opinions, questionnaire and exercises by André Boutet de Monvel.
Intended for students of French and readers who want to approach the novel with the support of a didactic apparatus.
Louis Émile Clément Georges Bernanos was a French author, and a soldier in World War I. A Catholic with monarchist leanings, he was critical of elitist thought and was opposed to what he identified as defeatism. He believed this had led to France's defeat and eventual occupation by Germany in 1940 during World War II. His two best-known novels Sous le soleil de Satan (1926) and the Journal d'un curé de campagne (1936) both revolve around a parish priest who combats evil and despair in the world. Most of his novels have been translated into English and frequently published in both Great Britain and the United States.
