About
Life is an extraordinary journey through the decades to retrace the most significant stages of our time through the memories of the Pope. These include the fall of Berlin Wall, Videla's coup in Argentina, the moon landing in 1969, and even the 1986 World Cup where Maradona scored "the hand of God" goal that went down in history.
The book is filled with memories of a pastor who, from his very personal point of view, recounts the Nazi extermination of the Jews, the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the great economic recession of 2008, the collapse of the Twin Towers, the pandemic, the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, and the conclave that elected him as Pope Francis. The "pope callejero" reopens the treasure chest of his memories to recount these moments that changed the world with the candor that distinguishes him. At the same time, Francis shares important messages on major current issues including social inequalities, the climate crisis, war, atomic weapons, racial discrimination, and pro-life battles.
"In this book we tell a story-the story of my life-through the most important and dramatic events that humanity has experienced over the last eighty years. This book is published so that people, especially the younger ones, can listen to the voice of an elderly person and reflect on what our planet has been through, to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
