A propos de cet article

Fine unread condition red boards with gold front cover lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes rear section entitled "Presentation" by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Thursday, March 6, 2003. Illustrated with Michelangelo paintings plus three panels of Michelangelo inlaid floor illustrating both the front and rear enpapers. Translated by Jerzy Peterkiewicz. "Widely regarded as his spiritual last testament, Roman Triptych: Meditations contains three new poems by Pope John Paul II, the first ones written and published during his pontificate. In the first poem, "The Stream," the pope revels in the wonder and beauty of the natural world. He urges us to trace a mountain stream -- the mystery of life -- back to its ineffable and divine source. In the second poem, Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel becomes a background setting for the pope's personal reflections upon his own mortality -- and the extraordinary conclave of cardinals that must gather after his death in order to select a new pontiff for the 21st century. Finally, in the third poem, he takes us up the terrifying slopes of Mount Moriah, where Abraham was called to bind and sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. The poem becomes a profound reflection on sacrifice -- and the incomparable love of God for humanity. This edition also includes the insightful Presentation of the pope's book by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith." -- from the inner front jacket flap. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Karol Josef Wojtyla. We know him as Pope John Paul II. He is one of the longest reigning pontiffs in the history of the Church. He was born on May 18, 1920 in Wadowice, Poland. In October 1978, at the age of 58, he succeeded Pope John Paul I and became the first Slavic pope in history and the first non-Italian pope in more than 450 years. He has traveled abroad more than any other pope before him, including four trips to the United States. A steadfast peacemaker, a world traveler, and an unrelenting defender of the faith, Pope John Paul II has brought the Church into a new millennium. With his legendary qualities of warmth and wisdom, he has been embraced by people of all religions around the world. In this book we discover another side of this remarkable man -- the poet." -- from the inner rear jacket flap.…

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
