Read full description of the books:

Estamos ante una de las novelas de mayor éxito de los últimos años. Traducida a las principales lenguas europeas, su tema ha desencadenado ardientes polémicas. Monseñor Meridith, su protagonista, sabe que morirá de cáncer al cabo de seis meses. Pero no sabe que estos seis meses serán los más importantes de toda su vida. Inglés, católico y sacerdote destacado de la Congregación de Ritos de Roma, Meridith había pasado su existencia investigando los vicios y virtudes de los posibles santos de la Iglesia. A las puertas de su propia muerte, Meridith es enviado a Calabria para escarmenar la vida de un tal Giacomo Nerone, venerado como santo, aunque de él se sabe que fue desertor del ejército británico durante la última guerra, padre soltero y amante de una de las beldades locales. El problema de la santidad se torna para Meridith, por primera vez, en algo dramáticamente actual, apasionante; en vez de archivos y pergaminos se encuentra con seres humanos que no quieren confesar sus secretos, prisioneros entre el miedo y el amor que les ha inspirado aquel desconsertante "santo".

Morris Langlo West was born in St Kilda, Melbourne in 1916. At the age of fourteen, he entered the Christian Brothers seminary ‘as a kind of refuge’ from a difficult childhood. He attended the University of Melbourne and worked as a teacher. In 1941 he left the Christian Brothers without taking final vows. In World War II he worked as a code-breaker, and for a time he was private secretary to former prime minister Billy Hughes.

After the war, West became a successful writer and producer of radio serials. In 1955 he left Australia to build an international career as a writer. With his family, he lived in Austria, Italy, England and the USA, including a stint as the Vatican correspondent for the British newspaper, the Daily Mail. He returned to Australia in 1982.

Morris West wrote 30 books and many plays, and several of his novels were adapted for film. His books were published in 28 languages and sold more than 60 million copies worldwide. Each new book he wrote after he became an established writer sold more than one million copies.

West received many awards and accolades over his long writing career, including the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the W.H. Heinemann Award of the Royal Society of Literature for The Devil's Advocate. In 1978 he was elected a fellow of the World Academy of Art and Science. He was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in 1985, and was made an Officer of the Order (AO) in 1997.

Morris West died at his desk in 1999.
