It is a dark and absorbing example of the Gothic sensibility and bracing satirical voice that are united in Flannery O'Conner's work. In it, the orphaned Francis Marion Tarwater and his cousins, the schoolteacher Rayber, defy the prophecy of their dead uncle--that Tarwater will become a prophet and will baptize Rayber's young son, Bishop. A series of struggles ensues: Tarwater fights an internal battle against his innate faith and the voices calling him to be a prophet while Rayber tries to draw Tarwater into a more \"reasonable\" modern world. Both wrestle with the legacy of their dead relatives and lay claim to Bishop's soul. O'Connor observes all this with an astonishing combination of irony and compassion, humor and pathos. The result is a novel whose range and depth reveal a brilliant and innovative writer acutely alert to where the sacred lives and to where it does not. --Publisher."@en . . "Et ce sont les violents qui l'emportent : roman" . . "Die Gewalt tun : Roman" . . . . . . . . . "Francis Tarwater has always been told that it is his destiny to become a prophet of God. Raised by his uncle, a strict religious zealot, he finds himself resisting the pressure put on him to become a devout Christian. After his uncle dies, Tarwater leaves to live with another uncle, a man who fervently tries to repress Tarwater's religious education, leaving Tarwater to decide for himself what he believes, and what acts he is willing to commit for those beliefs. The Violent Bear It Away was author Flannery O'Connor's second and final novel before her death at the age of thirty-nine. In it, O'Connor deals with themes common in many of her works, including religion, the grotesque, and questions of morality.
