On July 17, 1794, a group of Carmelite sisters stand at the foot of the scaf-fold in the Place de la R???volution. Convicted of the capital crime of being fanatics-anti-revolutionary, anti-libertarian fanatics-they have been con-demned to death and now confront the final, fearful steps to martyrdom. Before this ultimate moment, their community has been sifted like wheat: the youngest among them, the aristocratic Blanche de la Force, afraid equally of life and of death, has run away.

" Fear is also God's daughter, redeemed on the night of Holy Friday.... She is man's intercessor." (Georges Bernanos) The Fearless Heart , an English translation by Michael Legat of Dialogues des Carm???lites (originally published in 1950), was intended by Bernanos for film adaptation, the scenario of which had been prepared by the French Dom-inican priest Raymond Bruckberger.
