Synopsis
Laforgue felt his body tremble. What can be keeping them? Has the Commandant refused? Why has he not sent for me? Is this God's punishment for my lie about my hearing?
Father Laforgue, an idealistic Jesuit, embarks on a desparate mission to relieve an isolated priest in danger of his life in the wilds of seventeenth-century New France.
Black Robe is a tautly suspenseful tale of physical and spiritual adventure, and a meditation on good and evil in the human heart.
With an introduction by Colm Tóibín.

Black Robe
Seller: GCCebooks, Salinas, CA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. The cover and pages show normal wear. Book edges have stains. The pages are yellowed. Black Robe is the powerful tale of a Jesuit missionary's struggles with the fierce natives of an unforgiving land-and with the heavy burden of his own unforgiving conscience. The story is set in seventeenth-century Canada, an untamed country claimed by the French, controlled by the Jesuits, but belonging to the natives. Father Laforgue sets out on his mission sustained by his faith and his dreams of martyrdom. He is severely tested by the demands of the wilderness, his encroaching deafness, and the temptations of the flesh, but ultimately he survives and triumphs. Black Robe is a tale of adventure and defiance, faith and betrayal, passion and perversity. And, above all, it is a tale of the survival of the human spirit. Seller Inventory # 3UAP3I002EFO
