«Die Brücke von San Luis Rey» is the classic novel by Thornton Wilder published by Fischer Taschenbuch in paperback (170 pages, in German).
In Peru in 1714, the collapse of a suspension bridge kills five people. A Franciscan friar, who nearly shared the same fate, investigates their stories to determine whether their deaths were divine design or chance; his book brings him before the Inquisition. The novel interweaves love, loss, and the search for meaning.
The novel, originally published in 1927 as «The Bridge of San Luis Rey», received the Pulitzer Prize in 1928.
The novel's multiple interwoven stories and philosophical background make it suitable for reading clubs.
Thornton Niven Wilder was an American playwright and novelist. He won three Pulitzer Prizes, for the novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey and for the plays Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth, and a U.S. National Book Award for the novel The Eighth Day.
