Thornton Wilder was an American playwright and novelist. His most well-known novel "The Bridge of San Luis Rey" was first published in 1927 and was awarded the Pulitzer prize in 1928. 

The book follows five unrelated people who are only related by the cause of their death - a rope bridge collapse in Peru. The author is interested in the question of accidental death - is there a reason why those specific people had to die there and that way?

Several film versions exist of "The bridge on San Luis Rey". 

Wilder, Thornton Niven
