Therese of Lisieux died on 30 September 1897. Nine months later,
the now classic Story of a Soul appeared and proved an immediate
success. However, when historians had access fifty years later to
manuscripts written by Therese they were surprised to discover
enormous differences between these texts and the published version
of Story of a Soul. Jean-Francois Six has written this new book
with two purposes. First, he recalls the history of how Mother
Agnes, Prioress of the Carmelite convent and sister of Therese
altered and completed Therese's text so that it became a travesty
of the original. Secondly he re-establishes the truth of the last
months of Therese's life, her authentic spiritual message, and her
contribution to the history of mysticism. Here is a key study and a
crucial work of rehabilitation.
