Esperanza. La Autobiograf?a: Memorias del Papa Francisco / Hope

Por voluntad expresa del papa Francisco este documento excepcional no deber?a haber visto la luz hasta despu?s de su muerte. Pero el nuevo Jubileo de la Esperanza y las circunstancias actuales lo han empujado a difundir ahora su valioso legado.

ESPERANZA es la primera autobiograf?a de un pont?fice que se publica en la historia. Una autobiograf?a completa cuya escritura le ha ocupado los ?ltimos seis a?os. La narraci?n comienza en los primeros a?os del siglo XX con las ra?ces italianas de la familia y la azarosa emigraci?n de los abuelos a Am?rica Latina, y contin?a con la infancia, el entusiasmo y las inquietudes de la juventud, la llamada de la vocaci?n y la madurez, que abarca todo el pontificado y el presente.

Con ?ntima fuerza narrativa y sin pasar por alto sus propias pasiones, Francisco afronta con franqueza en sus memorias las cuestiones m?s candentes de su pontificado y desarrolla con valent?a, sencillez y visi?n de futuro los temas m?s controvertidos e importantes de nuestra ?poca: guerra y paz (sin omitir los conflictos en Ucrania y Oriente Pr?ximo), migraciones, crisis medioambiental, pol?tica social, situaci?n de la mujer, sexualidad, desarrollo tecnol?gico y futuro de la Iglesia y de las religiones.

Rico en revelaciones, an?cdotas y reflexiones iluminadoras, ESPERANZA es un libro de memorias emocionante, tremendamente humano y conmovedor, no exento de toques de aut?ntico sentido del humor; una obra que es al mismo tiempo la «novela de una vida y un testamento moral y espiritual destinado a conquistar a los lectores de todo el mundo y a convertirse en un legado de esperanza para las generaciones futuras.

La obra tambi?n contiene fotograf?as extraordinarias, algunas de las cuales son in?ditas y pertenecen a la colecci?n personal del pont?fice.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONS

Pope Francis originally intended this exceptional book to appear only after his death, but the needs of our times and the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope have moved him to make this precious legacy available now.

Hope is the first autobiography in history ever to be published by a Pope. Written over six years, this complete autobiography starts in the early years of the twentieth century, with Pope Francis’s Italian roots and his ancestors’ courageous migration to Latin America, continuing through his childhood, the enthusiasms and preoccupations of his youth, his vocation, adult life, and the whole of his papacy up to the present day.

In recounting his memories with intimate narrative force (not forgetting his own personal passions), Pope Francis deals unsparingly with some of the crucial moments of his papacy and writes candidly, fearlessly, and prophetically about some of the most important and controversial questions of our present times: war and peace (including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East), migration, environmental crisis, social policy, the position of women, sexuality, technological developments, the future of the Church and of religion in general.

Hope includes a wealth of revelations, anecdotes, and illuminating thoughts. It is a thrilling and very human memoir, moving and sometimes funny, which represents the “story of a life” and, at the same time, a touching moral and spiritual testament that will fascinate readers throughout the world and will be Pope Francis’s legacy of hope for future generations.

The book is enhanced by remarkable photographs, including private and unpublished material made personally available by Pope Francis himself.
