Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

More than seven decades later it retains its brutal power and pathos.

(Irish Times)

A welcome reminder of the power and importance of an often neglected author.

(TLS)

A quirky, angry little tale about the loneliness of the artist, as much as of a disenfranchised young girl.

(Scottish Sunday Herald)

Reseña del editor:

One of the great mavericks of French literature, Georges Bernanos combined raw realism with a spiritual focus of visionary intensity. Mouchette stands with his celebrated Diary of a Country Priest as the perfection of his singular art.
"Nothing but a little savage" is how the village school-teacher describes fourteen-year-old Mouchette, and that view is echoed by every right-thinking local citizen. Mouchette herself doesn't bother to contradict it; ragged, foulmouthed, dirt-poor, a born liar and loser, she knows herself to be, in the words of the story, "alone, completely alone, against everyone." Hers is a tale of "tragic solitude" in which despair and salvation appear to be inextricably intertwined.
Bernanos uncompromising genius was a powerful inspiration to Flannery O'Connor, and Mouchette was the source of a celebrated movie by Robert Bresson.
