On Friday noon, July the twentieth, 1714, the finest bridge in all Peru broke, and precipitated five travelers into the gulf below". This immortal sentence opens The Bridge of San Luis Rey, one of the towering achievements throughout the world. Brother Juniper, a Franciscan monk, witnesses the tragic event. Deeply moved, he embarks on a quest to prove that it was divine intervention, not chance, that led to the deaths of the five people crossing the bridge that day. Ultimately, his search leads to a timeless investigation into the nature of fate and love, and the meaning of the human condition. This edition includes an updated afterword by Wilder's nephew, Tappan, with illuminating documentary material about the novel and its rich literary history.
