Thornton Wilde, “The Bridge of San Luis Rey”

A profound meditation on fate, love, and the interconnectedness of human lives

Published in 1927, Thornton Wilder’s The Bridge of San Luis Rey is a profound meditation on fate, love, and the interconnectedness of human lives. Set in 18th-century Peru, the novel opens with the sudden collapse of a bridge, a tragic accident that claims the lives of five travelers. This disaster leads Brother Juniper, a devout Franciscan monk, to embark on a spiritual and philosophical quest: he seeks to understand why these particular individuals died, questioning whether their fates were predetermined or if some deeper meaning exists behind the tragedy. Through meticulous investigation into their lives, Brother Juniper explores the choices, relationships, and circumstances that led each character to their end.

The Bridge of San Luis Rey won the Pulitzer Prize in 1928.
