Der Deutsche Papst
It all started in Rome, November 1992. I was sitting on one of the red baroque armchairs in the audience chamber of the congregation for doctrine. The door was opened and a petite, classy man entered. Classier than I had thought he would be. We sat down near the window and talked about him, his job and God. It was the beginning of something that should change my life... Editor Peter Seewald
Hardly any journalist knows Benedict XVI. as well as the author Peter Seewald from Munich. Many friends and companions contributed to this book which describes Joseph Ratzingers journey from Marktl am Inn to being the first German Pope since 1523. This book features the most recent, personal and surprising photos which show the new Pope the way he really is: a humble servant in the vineyard of the Lord. For this new edition a chapter on his first year as a Pope has been added: from the World Youth Day in Cologne to his first encyclical.
