Relation In Pursuance Of Books Diario di un curato di campagna

« L'uomo che ha accettato una volta per sempre la terribile presenza del divino nella sua povera vita », cosi Bernanos definisce il protagonista del suo Diario di un curato di campagna: questa disarmata figura di prete cattolico che si consuma fino al limite della tentazione nell'impari lotta con il male impersonato dalla tragica opacità del mondo borghese di uno sperduto villaggio della Fiandra. Egli non deve salvare soltanto se stesso ma anche le anime dei suoi parrocchiani che gli sono ostili, o lo accettano passivamente trascinandolo nelle loro ipocrisie. Giunge fin quasi al punto di abiurare, ma proprio sull'orlo della perdizione la coscienza della morte vicina lo salva. « Un corpo a corpo fra il soprannaturale e il mondo; ma il mondo non è mai stato sentito da Bernanos con una comprensione più potente e più tenera », cosi scrisse André Rousseaux del Diario di un curato di campagna, un romanzo che ha in sé fin dalle prime pagine una carica drammatica che si va facendo via via sempre più febbrile e compressa ed esplode poi, ad un tratto, in tutta la sua pienezza dinnanzi all'illuminazione.

Comment On Out Of Books Diario di un curato di campagna

Read this book at a life-changing course taught by Robert Coles in College. Everytime I read this book or see the film version I am moved to think about the meaning of life/friendships/devotion, etc.

I wanted to like this book so much more than I did. I actually found it incredibly difficult to understand. Some of it, I think, was that it was poorly translated. I read a 1962 edition that doesn't even cite a translator -- so many of the sentences were so convoluted as to be utterly obtuse. Poor translation or witless reader? I never could figure out why Mlle Chantal was such an angry bitch and why she insisted on tormenting the priest. What was her secret? Was the priest an alcoholic or just

Journal d'un curé de campagne = Diary of a Country Priest, Georges BernanosThe Diary of a Country Priest is a 1936 novel by the French writer Georges Bernanos. The story is set in Ambricourt in northern France, where a young, newly appointed priest (Claude Laydu) shows up in the rural French community of Ambricourt, where he joins the community's clergy. But the locals don't take kindly to the priest, and his ascetic ways and unsociable demeanor make him an outcast. During Bible studies at the

Like many diaries, this novel at first comes across as drifting in focus, centered on the mundane interactions with the priest's flock, fellow churchmen and suppliers of his wine and food. Bernanos is acutely aware of the jockeying within a parish: the importance of the priest's image among the churchgoers and among the Catholic hierarchy, and, most vividly, his relationship with the troubled family of the local nobility. The debates on faith and its nuances seem to last forever and turn on

I thought this was one of those books that comes with a guarantee. But of course there is no such thing. Still, Id read only glowing reviews and boy was I ready for a triumphant experience. But on p. 26 I couldnt make heads or tails of what I was really reading about. On p. 54 the voice of the innocent and well-meaning young priest began to irk the shit out of me. On p. 55 I skipped ahead to see if anything would ever actually happen to dilute all the fluffy introspection and it didnt look

The French are in equal parts anti-clerical and devout. Georges Bernanos and Francois Mauriac are excellent examples of the latter tendency. This is the second or third time I have read The Diary of a Country Priest -- and each time I find it has rocked my world.There is a kind of imaginative religious novel in which a saintly joyful figure moves from strength to strength until he or she is ascended bodily into the heavens. Bernanos is not like that. His unnamed priest, who writes in the first
