Description
The Atheist's Mass is part of the Little Black Classics series, launched to celebrate Penguin's 80th anniversary.
"This is as much a mystery as the Immaculate Conception, which of itself must make a doctor an unbeliever."
The enigmatic tale unfolds in true Balzacian style, exploring the dichotomy between faith and scepticism, belief and science, through the eyes of a doctor contrasting theological mysteries with medical knowledge.
