«El Papa Oculto» is the historical biography by Darcy O'Brien, published by Javier Vergara Editor in hardback (440 pages, in Spanish).
It narrates the friendship between Karol Wojtyla, later John Paul II, and Jerzy Kluger, a Polish Jewish engineer. The work explores how that relationship influenced the Vatican's recognition of the State of Israel in 1994 and relations between the Catholic Church and the Jewish people, and presents Wojtyla as a key figure in the fall of communism.
It includes the translation by Fernando Mateo and 32 plates with photographs; the work was originally published in English in 1998.
Work aimed at readers interested in the history of the Catholic Church, the pontificate of John Paul II, and relations with Judaism.
