This 1944 Sun Dial Press edition of “The Song of Bernadette” is a remarkable find for collectors and readers alike. Written by Franz Werfel, an Austrian-Bohemian novelist and playwright, the book tells the story of Bernadette Soubirous, a young French peasant girl who experienced visions of the Virgin Mary in Lourdes in 1858. Werfel’s masterful storytelling brings to life the events that led to the establishment of Lourdes as a major Catholic pilgrimage site and the controversy surrounding Bernadette’s visions. Despite its age and the absence of a dust jacket, this copy boasts clean pages and a secure binding, allowing readers to immerse themselves in this timeless tale of faith and resilience. Collectors will appreciate the historical significance of this edition, published during World War II, when Werfel, a Jewish refugee, found sanctuary in the United States. “The Song of Bernadette” remains a powerful testament to the enduring power of belief and the resilience of the human spirit.
