The Tidings Brought To Mary

The Tidings Brought To Mary: A Mystery is a novel written by French poet and playwright, Paul Claudel, in 1916. The book is a retelling of the biblical story of the Annunciation, which tells the story of the angel Gabriel visiting Mary to announce that she has been chosen to give birth to the son of God. In this novel, Claudel takes a unique approach to the story, exploring the emotional and psychological impact that such an announcement would have had on Mary. The novel is set in a small French village, where Mary is portrayed as a young, innocent girl, who is suddenly thrust into a world of uncertainty and fear. The novel is also a mystery, as it explores the question of whether or not Mary is telling the truth about her encounter with the angel Gabriel. The villagers are skeptical of her story, and some even accuse her of lying or being possessed by a demon. Throughout the novel, Claudel weaves together themes of faith, doubt, and the power of belief. The Tidings Brought To Mary: A Mystery is a thought-provoking and emotionally charged novel that offers a fresh perspective on a well-known biblical story.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
