Author: Pope Francis.
This book, Hope, the first autobiography of a pontiff to be published in history, takes on all the current relevance given the death of its author, Pope Francis, last Monday, April 21.
Rich in revelations, anecdotes and illuminating reflections, it is an exciting memoir, tremendously human and moving, not devoid of touches of authentic sense of humor. The autobiography of Pope Francis is both a «novel of a lifetime» and a moral and spiritual testament destined to win over readers around the world and become a legacy of hope for future generations.
A complete autobiography whose writing has occupied him for the past six years. The narrative begins in the early years of the twentieth century with the Italian roots of the family and the hasty emigration of grandparents to Latin America, and continues with the childhood, enthusiasm and anxieties of youth, the call of vocation and maturity, which encompasses the entire pontificate and the present.
With an intimate narrative force and without neglecting his own passions, Francis addresses with frankness in his memoirs the most burning issues of his pontificate and develops with courage, simplicity and vision the most controversial and important topics of our time: war and peace (not forgetting the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East), migration, environmental crisis, social policy, women’s situation, sexuality, technological development and the future of the Church and religions.
