Morris Langlo West

    26 avril 1916 – 9 octobre 1999

    Morris West explore de manière magistrale l'interaction complexe de la foi, du pouvoir et de la conscience, plaçant souvent ses récits dans le creuset des arènes religieuses et politiques. Son écriture se distingue par une profonde perspicacité psychologique de la condition humaine et des dilemmes moraux auxquels les individus sont confrontés. West se penche sur les luttes intérieures et les pressions externes qui façonnent le destin de ses personnages. S'appuyant sur une vaste expérience acquise dans les cercles religieux et diplomatiques, ses romans offrent une lecture profondément humaine et stimulante.

      Imagine that a Pope, known for his doctrinal conservatism, were to die and his private diaries were revealed to be full of doubts about his papacy and the future of the Catholic Church. Such is the hypothesis of Morris West's tale of Vatican politics. At its heart is Luca, Cardinal Rossini, who has suffered torture and degradation as a priest under Argentinian dictatorship but who has risen to high office in the Vatican. He is a flawed man but he is still a man of power and a candidate for election. Just as his career seems poised to reach its zenith, he is plunged back into his past, reminded of a love affair which had seemed dead. Morris West, best-selling author The Shoes of the Fisherman and The Devil's Advocate, has fashioned a thrilling tale of ambition and power-broking in the world of Vatican politics that he knows so well.
