The Hidden Face

The Hidden Face is a biography of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux by the Catholic author Ida Friederike Görres (1901 Bohemia  – 1971 Germany). Görres first published this book in German in 1944 as Das Verborgene Antlitz; in the eighth edition in German in 1958, it was renamed Das Senfkorn von Lisieux: Das verborgene Antlitz. Neue Deutung in German. An English version, translated by Richard and Clara Winston, was published in 1959; this was republished by Ignatius Press in 2003. The Hidden Face is considered to be Görres's most important work.
