1940's Classic Books- The Bridge of San Luis Rey, by Thornton Wilder Published c. 1944, stated printed under wartime conditions. Copyright 1927. A historical fiction. Goodreads summary: On Friday noon, July the twentieth, 1714, the finest bridge in all Peru broke and precipitated five travelers into the gulf below. With this celebrated sentence Thornton Wilder begins The Bridge of San Luis Rey, one of the towering achievements in American fiction and a novel read throughout the world.By chance, a monk witnesses the tragedy. Brother Juniper then embarks on a quest to prove that it was divine intervention rather than chance that led to the deaths of those who perished in the tragedy. His search leads to his own death -- and to the author's timeless investigation into the nature of love and the meaning of the human condition. Illustrated! This should be a very interesting read! Condition: OK reading condition- The bind on this book is worn, so the cover is a little loose. There are a few imperfections on the pages, and some yellowing/discoloration, but all the pages are in fine reading condition.
