The Bridge of San Luis Rey, Thornton Wilder's second novel, tells the story of several unrelated people who happen to be on a bridge in Peru when it collapses, killing them. The novel explores the problem of evil, or the question of why unfortunate events occur to people who seem "innocent" or "undeserving". Through the stories of the victims, Wilder investigates the nature of love and the meaning of the human condition. This edition belongs to the Twentieth Century Classics collection.
Thornton Niven Wilder was an American playwright and novelist. He won three Pulitzer Prizes, for the novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey and for the plays Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth, and a U.S. National Book Award for the novel The Eighth Day.
