Thérse of Lisieux died on 30 September 1897. Nine months later, the now classic Story of a Soul appeared and proved an immediate success. However, when historians had access fifty years later to manuscripts written by Thérse they were surprised to discover enormous differences between these texts and the published version of Story of a Soul.Jean-Franois Six has written this new book with two purposes. First, he recalls the history of how Mother Agnés, Prioress of the Carmelite convent and sister of Thérse altered and completed Thérse's text so that it became a travesty of the original. Secondly he re-establishes the truth of the last months of Thérse's life, her authentic spiritual message, and her contribution to the history of mysticism.Here is a key study and a crucial work of rehabilitation.
