Après lui, l'Apocalypse... La prophétie de Malachie, la vision de Pie X et l'annonce faite par Marie aux jeunes bergers de Fátima, ne pourraient être plus claires : le pape actuel sera le dernier de l'histoire des hommes. Le souverain pontife lui-même en est persuadé. Requis par le Saint-Siège à propos d'une sombre histoire de documents volés, l'historien Tomás Noronha accorde peu de foi à ces élucubrations. L'enlèvement du Saint-Père, le soir même, le détrompera. Quant aux caves du Vatican, elles recèlent plus d'un Judas... Et plus d'un coin d'ombre.

This is a novel of growing up between cultures, of finding your space within them and of learning to live in a traumatised body.

A cosa pensi quando corri? Se d'impatto hai risposto "non lo so", ecco due notizie per te. La prima è che rientri nella maggioranza di persone che si allenano lasciando vagare la mente senza riposarla davvero. La seconda è che hai tra le mani l'audiolibro giusto. Correre imparando a concentrare l'attenzione su aspetti specifici, anziché rimbalzare da un pensiero all'altro, è un esercizio in grado di trasformare l'abitudine della corsa in un'esperienza molto più appagante, con effetti positivi enormi, non solo sui risultati sportivi.
