Desde el momento en que fue elegido para el papado, el papa Francisco ha captado la atencion del mundo con su humildad, carisma y espiritu reformista
Esta biografia ilustrada unica del primer Papa jesuita ofrece mas de 250 fotografias e incluye 50 documentos adicionales de la vida de Francisco que se pueden extraer del libro. Escrita por la reportera de Radio Vaticano, Marie Duhamel, este retrato intimo incluye la emigracion de sus padres desde Italia, su nacimiento como Jorge Mario Bergoglio en 1936, su amor por el futbol y la opera cuando era nino, la neumonia que casi le costo la vida cuando era un adulto joven, su llamado al sacerdocio, y su primer encuentro con la pobreza cuando era misionero en Chile que cambio su vida. Duhamel hace una cronica del ascenso de Francisco de sacerdote a obispo, de cardenal al papado, y como, a lo largo del camino, impresiono a muchas personas, y alejo a algunas, con su valentia para hacer frente a la autoridad y su dedicacion a ayudar a los pobres.
Los documentos adjuntos, como su certificado de bautismo, fotografias de su ninez, paginas de un cuaderno escolar, notas manuscritas como Papa, e incluso una tarjeta de seguidor de su querido club de futbol del San Lorenzo, ilustran mas aun su vida y crean un recuerdo duradero de este Papa para el pueblo.

From the moment he was elected into the papacy, Pope Francis has captured the attention of the world with his humility, charisma, and reformist spirit.
This one-of-a-kind, illustrated biography of the first Jesuit pope offers more than 250 photographs and 50 removable documents from Francis's life. Written by Vatican Radio reporter Marie Duhamel, this intimate portrait includes his parents emigration from Italy, his birth as Jorge Mario Bergoglio in 1936, his love of soccer and opera as a child, the pneumonia that nearly cost him his life as a young adult, his calling to the priesthood, and his first encounter with poverty as a missionary in Chile that would change his life. Duhamel chronicles Francis's rise from priest to bishop to cardinal to the papacy and how, along the way, he impressed many people-and alienated some-with his courage to stand up to authority and his dedication to helping the poor.
Enclosed documents such as his baptism certificate, photographs from his childhood, pages from a school notebook, handwritten notes as pope, and even a support card for his beloved San Lorenzo
soccer club, further illuminate his life and create a lasting keepsake of this pope of the people.
