After Bernadette: The Story of Modern Lourdes is a book written by Don Sharkey that explores the history and evolution of the famous pilgrimage site in Lourdes, France. The book begins with the story of Bernadette Soubirous, a young girl who claimed to have seen apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Lourdes in 1858. Sharkey then delves into the impact that Bernadette's visions had on the town of Lourdes and how it became a popular destination for pilgrims seeking healing and spiritual renewal.The book also explores how Lourdes has evolved over time, from a small village to a bustling tourist destination, and how it has adapted to modern technology and the changing needs of its visitors. Sharkey provides a detailed account of the various miracles and healings that have been reported at Lourdes, as well as the controversies and criticisms that have surrounded the site.Throughout the book, Sharkey offers insights into the cultural, social, and religious significance of Lourdes, and how it continues to attract millions of visitors from around the world each year. He also examines the role of the Catholic Church in promoting Lourdes as a site of pilgrimage and how it has influenced the development of the town.Overall, After Bernadette: The Story of Modern Lourdes is a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the world's most famous pilgrimage sites, and a fascinating exploration of the intersection between faith, culture, and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
