In
this beautifully illustrated spiritual travelogue, New
York Times bestselling
author George Weigel leads readers through the historic streets of
Kraków, Poland, introducing one of the world’s great cities
through the life of one of the most influential Catholic leaders of
all time.
“To
follow Karol Wojtyła through Kraków is to follow an itinerary of
sanctity while learning the story of a city.” Weigel writes. “Thus,
in what follows, the story of Karol Wojtyła, St. John Paul II, and
the story of Kraków are interwoven in a chronological pilgrimage
through the life of a saint that reveals, at the same time, the
dramatic history and majestic culture of a city where a boy grew into
a man, priest, a bishop—and an apostle to the world.”
With
stunning photographs by Stephen Weigel and notes on the city’s
remarkable fabric by Carrie Gress,City
of Saints offers
an in-depth look at a man and a city that made an indelible
impression on the life and thought of the Catholic Church and the
21st century world.
