Reading The Bridge of San Luis Rey | Alexandria
Read The Bridge of San Luis Rey by Thornton Wilder. Investigating five random deaths when an ancient bridge collapses in Peru, The Bridge of San Luis Rey asks the ultimate question: Is tragedy merely chance, or does the universe operate with purpose? Wilder's radical proposition - that love persists beyond death as a measurable force - challenged 1920s scientific materialism and still confronts our algorithmic worldview today.
