Sous le soleil de Satan by Georges Bernanos
"Sous le soleil de Satan" by Georges Bernanos is a novel written between 1918 and 1926. The work follows Abbé Donissan, a young priest tormented by his parish's impiety and his own sense of inadequacy. After a nighttime encounter with the devil on a hollow road in the Artois hills, his life becomes intertwined with Mouchette, a young girl consumed by evil. The novel presents a gallery of characters burned by suffering
and sin, exploring themes of despair, temptation, and spiritual darkness in the aftermath of World War I. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
