  Georges Bernanos
Georges Bernanos was born in Paris as the son of an interior decorator.
During World War I Bernanos served in the army, witnessed the battles of Somme and Verdun, and was wounded several times.
Bernanos' attempt to define France's supernatural destiny to lead the whole postwar world in a spiritual revolution won him audience, but his inability to fuse his ideals with political realities was a disappointment for his overoptimistic readers.

  Catholic Culture : Document Library : Georges Bernanos; His Literary Landscaping
Georges Bernanos was the literary landscaper par excellence; his descriptions of the French countryside, are part and substance of the whole vision which he had of God and man.
Landscape and description in Bernanos mirror the mood of his people, for the hills, the deserted roads, the waving poplars, and the winds of the night are to him beautiful or hideous according to the ironic experiences of his day's rounds among the parishioners.
Bernanos, son of France, has studied not only the image of Christ Crucified Whom he endeavors to portray in the vision he gives us of men dedicated solely to God, but obviously he has also studied the contributing geographical and physical backgrounds which he weaves masterfully into the fabric of his writing.

 Bernanos an uncompromising non-conformist   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Georges Bernanos had the voice, stature and inspiration of the fulminator he never ceased to be in his activities as a journalist, polemicist and novelist.
Bernanos was soon no more than an « impostor » and a « falsifier » to his former comrades-in-arms who did not understand the scepticism he expressed during the factious demonstrations organised in February 1934 by the extreme right leagues nor his condemnation of the crimes of the pro-Franco forces during the Spanish Civil War.
To the end, Bernanos was to remain, in the noblest sense of the word, incorrigible.

 Georges Bernanos - CatholicAuthors.com
Married in 1917, the Bernanos have three sons and three daughters; the eldest son went to England in 1941, serving there in the Air Force; but he came back to Brazil very ill. His second son left in 1942 and was in the navy on a submarine chaser.
Bernanos is known for his electrifying portrayal of evil, and the struggle of the soul with it.
Time magazine in its October 14, 1946, issue states: "Georges Bernanos is France's most distinguished Catholic author-and his own Church's sharpest critic." In an interview with the Most Reverend Edwin V. O'Hara, Bernanos explained his severe attacks on Catholics as an attempt to awaken Catholics to their responsibilities.

 Saint & Satan -- Page 1 -- TIME   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Georges Bernanos is a French Catholic Royalist and a writer of furious eloquence.
As if to prove to his opponents that he too can be sophisticated, Georges Bernanos opens his novel with a few venomously comic, ugly chapters in which a little 16-year-old wild beast of a girl murders the rural marquis who has seduced her, makes an abject jackass of a hagridden local doctor.
Georges Bernanos is concerned with the least stylish of possible human attributes: holiness.

 Edition "Les provinciales"
Lapaque éclaire très bien la fidélité de Bernanos à ses lignes de pensée, l’efficience d’une vie et d’une Å“uvre qui tiennent aujourd’hui leur force d’avoir été sans concession hier.
« A la manière de Roger Nimier saluant “le Grand d’Espagne”, l’auteur s’adresse à Bernanos comme à un capitaine qui nous montrerait la voie dans une époque déboussolée… Un essai passionnant et érudit.
Né en 1971 à Tübingen, Sébastien Lapaque a donné avec son premier livre, édité par Les provinciales, Georges Bernanos encore une fois, dans un style convainquant, ses références intellectuelles.
