The best translation available

I have read several versions of this classic autobiography--one of the most important Catholic books of the last 200 years--and Robert Edmonson's translation is the best. It is fresh and lively, and communicates the spirit of Therese. In fact, I was delighted to have read this translation just before taking a pilgrimage to Lisieux this past spring. While touring Therese's family home, you can imagine her childish glee, as well as her childlike devotion to Christ, just as she communicates these things in The Story of a Soul.
Buy and read this edition. It's the best!

A new translation, but not of St. Therese's original manuscript

This is a new translation, not of St. Therese's authentic manuscripts, which have been available in French since 1956, but of a version heavily edited by her sister Pauline, who made about seven thousand changes to Therese's work, virtually rewriting her sister's autobiography. Those who want to read what Therese wrote, not what Pauline wrote, should read Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux, Third Edition That edition, a translation of the 1973 centenary edition of St. Therese's own manuscript by Fr. John Clarke, OCD, and published by ICS Publications, is universally recognized as the authoritative English translation.

An engaging translation of the original autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux's fascinating and influential life

Knowledgeably translated and expertly edited by Robert J. Edmonson, The Story Of A Soul: A New Translation by the late St. Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897), is the engaging autobiography of the young woman known as "Little Flower" in the late nineteenth century. Reviewing her life and philosophy, The Story Of A Soul gently tells of Therese's slightly comedic, quite intelligent and always charming devotion to her church and God. Inspiring and heartwarming reading, The Story Of A Soul is very highly recommended as an engaging translation of the original autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux's fascinating and influential life.
