O Vatican: A Slightly Wicked View of the Holy See Paul Hofmann
New York Congdom & Weed 1984 0865531013 / 9780865531017 First Edition Hardcover Very Good With Dust Jacket Used
Hofmann has a written a witty, incisive and often irreverent book that spills countless stories he has gleaned from conversations with cardinals, bishops, priests, nuns, guards, gardeners and popes. His book is a rare view of the mighty sovereign state that sometimes wields more power than countries twenty times its size. In richly observant detail, he desribes the private habits of the last five popes and the personal entourage of each. This book is a masterfully authentic portrait of the Vatican by a man who lays bare its workings with the sagacity of an insider. Hardcover. In Very Good condition. Clean and unmarked. Dust jacket in new mylar cover. 306 pages.
