Hardback. Condición: Good. St Bernadette of Lourdes (1934) By François Duhourcau | Sands & Company ISBN: none (Heaven keeps its own records) Condition: Good as sold by Crappy Old Books If your idea of ?YA with a strong female lead? includes visions, relentless church investigations and a small French town accidentally becoming an international pilgrimage industry , this 1934 life of St Bernadette of Lourdes is exactly your flavour. François Duhourcau gives you the full classic account of Bernadette Soubirous ? the asthmatic miller?s daughter who went out to gather firewood, saw ?a lady? in a grotto, and never quite got her life back to normal. What?s inside (besides holy water and medical reports) You get: Childhood in grinding poverty ? damp room, bad food, worse lungs, zero expectation of ever being important. The apparitions at Massabielle ? the visions that only Bernadette sees, and the rest of Lourdes tries very hard not to believe in until things get awkward. Clergy and officials doing that timeless dance of: ?We must be prudent.? ?We must investigate.? ?We must absolutely not be wrong in public.? The emergence of the spring , the first cures, and the sudden arrival of crowds, candles and sceptical doctors. Bernadette herself, stubbornly unimpressed by fame, insisting she?s just the messenger and not remotely a plaster statue. Duhourcau follows her right through to her later years in the convent at Nevers, where she escapes the crowds only to run into chronic illness and the kind of humility modern self-help books wouldn?t know what to do with. The tone: reverent, but not sugary This is 1930s Catholic biography, so expect: Respectful, devout storytelling ? no winking at the camera, no ?perhaps she was just stressed.? A lively awareness of the human drama : the gossip in Lourdes, the pressure on the family, the suspicion of authorities who?d really prefer no miracles on their watch. A portrait of Bernadette that is genuinely interesting: sharp-tongued when needed allergic to fuss very clear about what she did and did not see. It?s spiritual reading with a strong side of French local politics. This particular copy The photo shows a blue cloth hardback that has clearly done a little earthly pilgrimage of its own: Condition: Good ? by Crappy Old Books standards, that means: Binding still sound, pages all firmly in place, perfectly readable. Boards scuffed and bumped at corners; edges worn in that ?I?ve been taken off the shelf more than once? way. Spine ends a bit crumpled and creased, like a habit that?s been caught in too many convent doors. A couple of small marks and smudges on the cloth ? cosmetic only, not the result of experimental Lourdes water. No dust jacket, but it carries itself with the modest, slightly battered dignity that feels entirely appropriate for Bernadette. Why you might actually want this You?re interested in Lourdes, miracles, and 19th-century Catholicism , and want a period biography rather than a modern documentary script. You like lives of saints that show the awkward, human, occasionally exasperated person behind the holy card. You?re a collector of pre-war Catholic lives and hagiography from solid old publishers like Sands & Co. You enjoy the contrast between a big, global shrine and one very small woman who would really have preferred to be left alone. It?s also the sort of book that sits nicely between theology and history: not just pious retelling, not just cynical reduction?something in between, written when many original witnesses were only a couple of generations gone. The vibe Reading St Bernadette of Lourdes feels like: Being walked, gently but firmly, through the story behind every souvenir bottle of Lourdes water on every mantelpiece. Watching a poor, uneducated girl repeatedly out-stare officials, clergy and questioners with simple, stubborn clarity. Seeing how an obscure riverside grotto turned into a world-wide devotional traffic jam , one Hail Mary at a time. It?s contemplative, occasionally exasperating (on behalf of Bernadette), and quietly moving. Condition vs. Sanctity Physically: Good ? a bit worn, a bit knocked, wholly usable; think ?well-travelled pilgrim,? not ?reliquary piece.? Spiritually/literarily: a solid, old-fashioned saint?s life with enough detail to keep both believers and curious historians turning the pages. Offered by Crappy Old Books , where the miracles are strictly textual, the cloth is a little frayed, the condition is Good, and Bernadette?s story carries on doing what it?s always done: turning a quiet French girl into a very loud question about what we think is possible.
