"Il regagna misérablement son lit, tête basse, avec une sorte d'humilité vile qui marquait bien la profondeur de sa chute, son caractère irréparable, pareil moins à un menteur confondu qu'à un animal dressé qui aurait raté son tour. Bien qu'il s'abandonnât désormais, cet abandon ne lui apportait aucun soulagement certain : une issue semblait ouverte, au contraire, aux eaux dormantes et pourries de l'âme."
Les Ténèbres est un diptyque composé de deux romans, L'imposture et La Joie (Prix Femina 1929), publiés respectivement en 1927 et 1928. On y retrouve l'histoire d'un abbé qui se rend compte que sa vie est une duperie, qu'il s'est menti à lui-même et n'a jamais véritablement cru en Dieu. Bernanos nous décrit à son sujet une plongée dans les abîmes du doute. Plus tard, il sera confronté à Chantal, une jeune fille dont la luminosité s'oppose à sa noirceur.
À travers les deux volets de cette même histoire, Bernanos invite le lecteur à une réflexion sur la crise de la modernité, la perte de la foi qui en découle et le combat qui se livre à l'intérieur de chacun de nous entre le bien et le mal. C'est aussi une prodigieuse critique des institutions religieuses.
