While François Mauriac's reputation as a novelist is well established, it is often forgotten that fiction forms only part of his output, and that in the post-war years especially, it was principally his activities as a journalist which kept him in the public eye.

Through the Past Darkly

An attempt has also been made to reveal François Mauriac as a man, and to link him to those in the past and present whose ideas are related to his own; as well as to show in what he differs from other writers whom, in some ways, he resembles.

Holy Thursday
ln these pages, with simple piety and a novelist's mastery of language, Francois Mauriac carries the reader to Jesus in the tabernacle of the local Catholic church, enabling Christians to the tenderness found by all believers.
