I, Francis 40th Anniversary Edition

The 40th anniversary edition of an Orbis classic: The spirituality and life of Francis of Assisi written in his own inimitable voice by Carlo Carretto. "I was born in Assisi, in Italy, eight hundred years ago. And eight centuries later I still remember a thing or two . . . . Thanks to my father's money and my mother's good taste I passed my childhood like the classic spoiled child. . . . Middle class rich boy that I was, I never would have thought that it would be the poor who would be my salvation. . . ."
