The Life of Monseigneur Berneux is a historical biography written by Frederic Pichon and published in 1872. The book tells the story of Monsignor Jean Joseph Gustave Berneux, a French Catholic bishop who served as a missionary in Asia during the 19th century. Berneux was born in 1815 and joined the Society of Foreign Missions of Paris in 1839. He was sent to Korea in 1854, where he worked to spread Christianity and establish a Catholic Church in the region. However, Berneux's mission was met with resistance from the Korean government, which viewed Christianity as a threat to its authority. Berneux was arrested and imprisoned multiple times, and he faced harsh treatment from his captors. Despite the challenges he faced, Berneux remained committed to his mission and continued to work towards establishing a Catholic presence in Korea. The Life of Monseigneur Berneux provides a detailed account of Berneux's life and work, drawing on historical records and personal accounts to paint a vivid picture of the bishop's experiences in Korea. The book also explores the broader historical context of Berneux's mission, including the political and social climate of 19th-century Asia. Overall, The Life of Monseigneur Berneux is a compelling and informative biography that sheds light on an important figure in the history of Catholicism and missionary work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
