This work by François Mauriac (winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature) is not a traditional, scholarly historical biography, but rather a profound, literary, and psychological religious essay. As a devout Catholic, the author focuses on the human nature of Christ, revealing His emotions, the drama of His relationships with the apostles, and His struggles with the world around Him. This work caused quite a stir in intellectual circles in both France and Poland just before the outbreak of World War II.
The translation from French was carried out by the distinguished writer and essayist Maria Czapska, with the personal authorization of the author himself.
