A bestseller in its original Argentinian, Francis: Life and
Revolution paints an intimate portrait of Jorge Bergoglio by
Elisabetta Pique, a journalist who is also a close friend of the
man who became the 266th and current Pope. The warm, personal
narrative is rich in character and evocation of the subject and
biographer's shared Argentinian heritage, making this unique among
books about Bergoglio. Pique tells the story of his upbringing, and
journey through priesthood to the Vatican, the Curia and ultimately
to his election as Pope. Her text includes her phone conversations
with Bergoglio in the days preceding the announcement, his fears
and modest denials when she told him she believed it would be him,
and a fascinating never-before-reported account of the
deliberations of the Conclave that elected him. Before analysing
the innovations and the polemic changes driven by the new Pope, the
book tells of a good natured and kind man with a wonderful sense of
humour married to strong convictions who risked his own life to
help the victims of illegal repression in Argentina.
