Description
A deeply personal relic of French spiritual history, this 1940 edition of Histoire d'une Âme-the autobiography of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux-offers more than sacred text. Bound in richly patterned paper with handwritten labels and a dated inscription (Wednesday, 16 October 1940), this edition evokes wartime faith, devotion and quiet resilience.
Thérèse's voice-gentle, devout, and unshakably human-resonates through the pages, written in the simplest of French prose. The front matter includes a moving preface detailing the collaborative nature of this sacred memoir, which includes writings from her sisters and the Carmelite order.
This is a piece for collectors of Catholic ephemera, lovers of French religious history, or anyone drawn to the quiet beauty of a book that was cherished, prayed over, and perhaps even carried in a pocket during uncertain times.
