man's passion (the), Navaro-valls j

Joaquin Navarro-Valls was one of the most recognizable voices during the pontificate of John Paul II. His articles, regularly published in La Repubblica, helped keep him present in public opinion, even after the end of his term as director of the Holy See Press Office. This book offers, for the first time, a broad overview of Navarro-Valls' ideas and memories. His personal story is intertwined with that of the great figures he had the opportunity to meet, but it also fueled his reflection on the challenges and problems of our contemporary world. Through his accounts of encounters with historical figures (Gorbachev, Mother Teresa, Fidel Castro), as well as anecdotes from John Paul II's daily life, Navarro-Valls opens the doors of his experience, his ideals, and the extraordinary moments he always lived with his characteristic attention to detail.
