Saturated with dramatic intensity and marked with Bernanos’s inimitable fitful style, the novel follows young Fr. Donissan, a man of fervent faith but limited intelligence, striving to serve the Lord in his rural ministry. The priest’s ability to plumb the depths of his flock’s inner lives, along with his awareness of Satan on the prowl, grant him formidable opportunities of grace—with a girl fallen prey to prostitution, with a child on the cusp of death, and with his fellow priests struggling with doubt. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMeditative, keenly insightful, at times alarming, \u003ci\u003eUnder the Sun of Satan\u003c\/i\u003e displays the masterful scope of Bernanos’s artistic vision, a vision which only grew in clarity with his later works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Like no other Christian writer of our times, \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBernanos is the minstrel of grace.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e(\u003c\/span\u003eHans Urs von Balthasar)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeorges Bernanos \u003c\/strong\u003e(1888–1948) was a French novelist and essayist.
