«Il padrone del mondo» is the dystopian novel by Robert Hugh Benson, published by Jaca Book in paperback (344 pages, in Italian).
In a future marked by tolerant, secular humanitarianism, the philanthropist Giuliano Felsemburgh promises universal peace and unity among religions. Only the Catholic Church, persecuted in the name of that tolerance, resists the new order. It includes instant communications, air transport and a European parliament, and reflects on relativism.
The novel was originally published in 1907 as Lord of the World; this Italian edition of 2010 belongs to the Mondi letterari collection and includes a translation by Paola Eletta Leoni.
A work for readers of dystopias, Catholic thought and criticism of secularism, with special interest in twentieth-century religious literature.
Brigham Henry Roberts was a historian, politician, and leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He edited the seven-volume History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and independently wrote the six-volume Comprehensive History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Roberts also wrote Studies of the Book of Mormon—published posthumously—which discussed the validity of the Book of Mormon as an ancient record. Roberts was denied a seat as a member of United States Congress because of his practice of polygamy.
