Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. 3052 Man of the Century:The Life and Times of Pope John Paul II, by Jonathan Kwitny (read 14 Feb 1998) The author is a journalist, not a 'writer'. Much of the book says good things about the Pope, but the author is a liberal and so he obviously objects to the Pope's position on some things. This was a long book, and I cannot say I enjoyed parts of it--parts pointing out the Church's problems. These are perilous times religiously, and if one weren't sure the gates of hell will not prevail against her, one would be quite pessimistic. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Pope John Paul II was born in a small village in southern Poland and originally wanted to write plays. In World War II he repeatedly escaped German round-ups of young men, and managed to continue writing and acting in theatre. He rose to an influential position in the Church during the Cold War and became one of those most responsible for the overthrow of communist tyranny in his country, yet at the same time he colluded in protecting despotism in Latin America. This paradox is among the aspects of John Paul's life and character explored in this biography. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
