Product Description
Product Description
Morris takes as his protagonist a real man, Giordano Bruno - a priest denounced by the Church as a heretic and burnt at the stake in the Campo dei Fiordi, Rome in 1600. Now, 400 years after Bruno's death, West brings the man back to life. Written with passion and a voice which mesmerises, this is Morris West's final novel.

Sadly, the author died while writing this book. It is unfinished, and the author died on the eve of, the man he was writing about,Giordano Bruno's,execution for heresy (in january 1600). Morris bases his book on documentation from Giordono's past and from his trial as a heretic by the catholic church. You can see, and feel the resonance Morris felt for Giordano's unwelcome, open-minded logic, and get a vivid picture of life in that time.
Morris probably wouldnt, in my opinion, have wanted unfinished work published, as his work was always exquisitely polished (which, for obvious reasons this is not). However, I'm very grateful that it was.

Morris west was one of the best and this last one proves the point. This is his last book and he has proved himself yet again as the master of vatican suspense. Many of his books are superb and modelled after part fiction and part christian history.
