A combined omnibus version of Fiona Wimber's local trilogy, the Bridge of the Gods series in its entirety. In the area now known as the Pacific Northwest, two brothers, Wyeast and Pahtoe, arrive in turmoil. Their father, the great god Sahale swears them to peace, but this is not destined to last. To survive, the pair must endure hardships unlike anything ever faced before or since with their only connection being their shared brotherhood and their faith.

The Bridge of San Luis Rey
Author: Thornton Niven Wilder
Publisher: Aegitas
ISBN: 0369408888
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 75
Book Description
The story is based on a fictional disaster that occurred in Peru on July 20, 1714. A rope bridge woven by the Incas on the road between Lima and Cuzco collapsed when five people were crossing it. They all fell into the river from a great height and were killed. Brother Juniper, a Franciscan friar who was about to cross the bridge himself, witnessed the tragedy. Being deeply pious, he saw in what happened a possible divine providence. Did the dead deserve to have their lives cut short in such a terrible way? The monk tries to learn as much as he can about the five victims, finding and questioning people who knew them. As a result of years of investigation, he compiles a voluminous book with all the evidence he has gathered that the beginning and end of human life are part of God's plan... The Bridge of San Luis Rey won the 1928 Pulitzer Prize for the Novel, and remains widely acclaimed as Wilder's most famous work. In 1998, the book was rated number 37 by the editorial board of the American Modern Library on the list of the 100 best 20th-century novels. Time magazine included the novel in its TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005.
