"Pope John Paul II" is a remarkable photographic journey
documenting the 25 years of the papacy of John Paul II, one of the
most remarkable figures of the twentieth century.
Spanning from the days when Karol Wojtyla was still a cardinal
to his death and the election of today's Pope Benedict XVI, this
book contains historical photographs and very personal moments of
the life of the pope. These revealing and poignant photographs show
the pope in his full humanity, and not just as the former head of
the Catholic Church: photographs of the pope laughing, with his
clothes blown by the wind, while President Jimmy Carter struggles
to help fix them; the pope losing his papal hat while kissing the
ground; a beautiful series of six sequential photographs capturing
the various intimate expressions of the pope ... all of these give
the book a personal feeling.
Designed to be the size of an average hand-held bible--and with
gold-edged pages and ribbon dividers--this book includes 180 images
bound in 306 pages and promises to become a keepsake.
The photographs are from the famed agency Contact Press Images,
headed by Robert Pledge, who also edited the book.
