This is the classic work that tells the true story surrounding the
miraculous visions of St. Bernadette Soubirous at Lourdes, France
in 1858. Werfel, a highly respected anti-Nazi writer from Vienna,
became a Jewish refugee who barely escaped death in 1940, and wrote
this moving story to fulfill a promise he made to God. While hiding
in the little village of Lourdes, Werfel felt the Nazi noose
tightening, and realizing that he and his wife might well be caught
and executed, he made a promise to God to write about the "song of
Bernadette" that he had been inspired by during his clandestine
stay in Lourdes. Though Werfel was Jewish, he was so deeply
impressed by both Bernadette and the happenings at Lourdes, that
his writing has a profound sense of Catholic understanding.
