«Hermano Francisco» is the biography of Saint Francis of Assisi written by Julien Green, published by Sal Terrae in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Julien Green sets the life of Francis of Assisi in the thirteenth century, amid the struggles of the Italian cities and the crusades. The young man, restless and ambitious, dreams of horse, armour and lordship, but an unexpected call leads him to abandon his aspirations. The work narrates that spiritual hunt and his conversion into a love story with God.
Original title: Frère François. Spanish edition published in 2002 in the Servidores y Testigos collection by Sal Terrae.
For readers interested in biographies of saints, Franciscan spirituality and the religious history of the thirteenth century.
Julien Green, often Julian Green, was an American writer who lived most of his life in France and wrote mostly in French and only occasionally in English. Over a long and prolific career, he authored novels and essays, several plays, and a biography of Francis of Assisi, produced a four-volume autobiography, and for decades maintained a daily journal that he edited and published in nineteen volumes. The posthumous publication of the unexpurgated text of his journals presented a different version of his personality and sexuality, revealed details of the lives of many of his prominent contemporaries, and documented the gay subculture of 20th-century France.
