Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"I'm an atheist. I'm anticlerical. I am militantly secular, a stubborn rationalist, a committed unbeliever. But here I am, flying to Mongolia with the Vicar of Christ on earth, preparing to question him about the resurrection of the flesh and eternal life. This why I'm on board this plane: to ask Pope Francis if my mother will see my father in the afterlife and report his answer back to her. That's how a godless lunatic like me ended up following God's shepherd to the ends of the earth." This is the unexpected origin of a one-of-a-kind book, not least because the Vatican has never given a writer this kind of access before. In El loco de Dios en el fin del mundo, Javier Cercas manages to turn an unusual premise into a masterful and very personal project: a thriller about the greatest mystery in human history. In this non-fiction novel, Cercas interweaves his personal obsessions with some of the fundamental issues facing contemporary society: the role of spirituality and mysticism, religion, and the quest for immortality in human life."--
