Sinopse

The story of one of the world's most popular saints, narrated by Hermann Hesse

From a young age, Hermann Hesse was fascinated by the figure of Saint Francis of Assisi. In some ways, the saint was like a distant friend, a beacon in his life. His determination and demeanor amazed Hesse. Francis of Assisi always followed through with what he set out to do and preached "nothing that he himself could not fulfill daily, basing and supporting the doctrine by example." In other words, Francis admired an ethic linked to beauty and the desire for harmony.
This love can be found in other works by Hesse: Narcissus and Goldmund, Steppenwolf, and even Demian. In the pages of these books, one can perceive the tutelary shadow of his favorite saint, as a model of behavior and a measure of human excellence. We know these novels, but we were unfamiliar with this beautiful book dedicated entirely to Saint Francis of Assisi, which is at once a biography and a beautiful literary work. With a writing style that oscillates between legend, fable, and essay, Francis of Assisi is a successful attempt to bring a silent witness of ancient times to speak again. A book written out of admiration and devotion, the result is a surprising and moving text.
