This acclaimed new English-language translation by Michael Tobin of Georges Bernanos’s classic work is the first fully complete, English-language edition, ever of the original French version.

In this classic Catholic novel, Bernanos movingly recounts the life of a young French country priest who grows to understand his provincial parish while learning spiritual humility himself. Awarded the Grand Prix for Literature by the Academie Francaise, The Diary of a Country Priest was adapted into an acclaimed film by Robert Bresson.
