About this title

Synopsis

Though written independently of each other, these works share a common theme - Bernanos's deep conviction that what will save our world is not intellectual achievement, political effort, technological progress, or theological acumen, but the heroism of innocence. In these stories Bernanos portrays very young women, including Joan of Arc, as embodiments of the power of Christian innocence.
