| 520 | |a The world is full of interesting people, and it has been George Weigel's good fortune to have known many such personalities in a variety of fields: politics, religion, the arts and sciences, journalism, the academy, entertainment, and sports. In this collection of reminiscences and elegies, the best-selling author of the definitive biography of Pope Saint John Paul II remembers these men and women from inside the convictions that formed them. Whether he is sketching, the lives of Nobel Prize-winning scientists, major league baseball managers, princes of the Church, television personalities, or history-making political leaders, Weigel tries to understand, and help readers understand, the deep truths of the human condition illuminated by each of these not-forgotten lives. Written with verve, insight, and an appreciation for the consequential lives that have touched his own, this book fills out the autobiographical portrait that George Weigel began painting in LESSONS IN HOPE: MY UNEXPECTED LIFE WITH SAINT JOHN PAUL II, while offering a backstage view of some of the men and women who have shaped the turbulent history of our times. | ||
