Born Louis Emile Clement Georges in Paris on February 20, 1888, Bernanos was the son of an interior decorator. Early in his life, Bernanos thought of becoming a priest but instead studied law and literature at Sorbonne University. He fought during World War I and was wounded on numerous occasions. He spent his early career as a journalist and insurance inspector.
Thank you for writing this, Joseph. I have heard of Bernanos several times and I own Diary of a Country Priest, but I wasn't sure of its quality or Bernanos's character until reading your article. I will certainly have to try it now. God bless!
