# Sous le soleil de Satan

By Georges Bernanos.

"Sous le soleil de Satan" by Georges Bernanos is a novel written between 1918 and 1926. The work follows Abbé Donissan, a young priest tormented by his parish's impiety and his own sense of inadequacy. After a nighttime encounter with the devil on a hollow road in the Artois hills, his life becomes intertwined with Mouchette, a young girl consumed by evil. The novel presents a gallery of characters burned by suffering and sin, exploring themes of despair, temptation, and spiritual darkness in the aftermath of World War I.
