Las sandalias del pescador / The Shoes of the Fisherman by Morris West
En plena guerra fria, Cirilo Lakota, de origen eslavo, es elegido Papa. Un unico tema parece preocupar a la Iglesia: la renovacion, el constante debate de sus ideas. Tras diecisiete anos de prision en los gulags, Cirilo I ocupa el trono de Pedro. Su antiguo verdugo es ahora el primer ministro de la Union Sovietica: el poder material frente al poder espiritual. La posibilidad de una terrible hambruna se cierne sobre el pueblo ruso, y con ella el peligro de invasion de los paises vecinos y, quizas, un enfrentamiento armado con las potencias occidentales. En esta obra fascinante -llevada al cine con Anthony Quinn en el papel protagonico-, ademas de contarnos una historia extraordinaria, Morris West nos invita a reflexionar sobre el sentido de la justicia, tanto la terrena como la divina. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A pope has died and cardinals from all over the world now gather to choose his successor. The results are somewhat surprising for many; the new pope is the youngest cardinal and Russian. This is the story of Kiril Lakota, a cardinal who steps out from behind the Iron Curtain to lead the Catholic Church and to grapple with the many issues facing the contemporary world.
