Synopsis

Faith, love, and a transforming road to inner truth unfold in a vivid, historic Italian setting. The Kingdom is a fictional study of spiritual awakening in the life of Bernardo, a reserved monk whose past loves and present vows collide as he journeys toward a higher call. Against the backdrop of Assisi’s stone streets, Rome’s corridors, and a close circle of devoted friends, the story explores how faith, doubt, and sacrifice shape a person’s path.

- A quiet, character-driven tale about devotion, doubt, and the cost of true faith.
- Lush, grounded descriptions of medieval and sacred places that frame the inner journey.
- Interwoven relationships—between Bernardo, Orlando, and the people around him—that test loyalties and reveal different paths to holiness.
- A thoughtful meditation on modern ideas, duty, and the enduring power of spiritual purpose.

Ideal for readers drawn to historical religious fiction that blends personal longing with a search for meaning and mission.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The small Franciscan convent of San Damiano near Assisi lay bathed in peace and A pril sunlight. A bove, the terraced fields on the slopes gleamed bright with bladed wheat beneath the dull grey olives, up to the brown and purple steeps where rose the strong curves of the barren mountain; below, the luxuriant gardens of the glens were rich with blossomed fruittrees, beans in flower and garlands of the budding vines, down to the broad lap of the fertile plain, which, with its bounding, billowy hills, shimmered in faint blue haze. Beside the steep road that leads down to the convent from the towered mediaeval city, a crew of ragged barefoot children played, on the watch for foreign visitors with half-pennies to spare. In a garden above them a peasant girl, in a red bodice, was hanging out wet clothes on a line, extended from tree to tree, and shouting strident snatches of immemorial song.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
