Culled from extensive interviews over a period of two years, Pope Francis: Conversations with Jorge Bergoglio paints the picture of a humble Jesuit priest, preferential to simplicity over fanfare. Elected in one of the shortest conclaves in history, Pope Francis (formerly Archbishop Bergoglio of Argentina) is portayed as a learned and introspective man, not afraid to discuss highly-charged topics. The book offers an inside peek into the Pope's personal life and discusses the extraordinary role he played in the last conclave where he is said to have been tied with Joseph Ratzinger. Also included are some of the Pope's own writings, full of wisdom and inspiration.
