概要

On a winter night in a quiet French town, a devout woman rises before dawn to attend the early Mass—only to find the church filled with worshippers who do not belong to the living world.

In The Mass of Shadows, Anatole France weaves a solemn and haunting tale of love, memory, and the fragile boundary between life and death. Through the voice of a sacristan recalling his father’s stories, we enter a world where the dead return not in terror, but in reverence—souls bound by affection, regret, and unfinished devotion. Once a year, they are granted a single hour to reunite with those they loved, gathering silently in their parish church to attend a Mass said not for the living, but for memory itself.

Both tender and unsettling, this philosophical ghost story reflects on love that endures beyond mortality, the quiet weight of sin and forgiveness, and the human longing to return to what once mattered most. France’s prose is restrained, lyrical, and deeply atmospheric, offering a meditation on faith and affection rather than fear.

Narrated with gravity and nuance by Michael Lyons, The Mass of Shadows is a timeless classic of supernatural literature—reverent, melancholic, and quietly unforgettable.
