Hope is a unique testimony from Pope Francis, offered to the world even though he had originally planned not to publish it until after his death. But the challenges of our time, and the approach of the Jubilee Year 2025, have led him to share this profound personal account today.
It is the first autobiography ever published by a living pope. The fruit of several years' work, the book retraces his entire career: from his family's Italian origins, their emigration to Argentina, his childhood, his vocation, right up to his pontificate.
In a direct and intimate style, Pope Francis looks back on the great moments of his life, while addressing the major issues of our time: peace and international conflicts, migration issues, the ecological crisis, social transformations, the place of women, sexuality, technological progress, and the future of the Church and faith.
Enriched with personal anecdotes and powerful spiritual reflections, this account is both a document of memory and a message of hope for present and future generations. The book is also illustrated with rare photographs, many from the Pope's personal archives.
