William Brodrick

    1. január 1960

    William Brodrick sa vo svojich dielach zaoberá hlbokými etickými a filozofickými otázkami, často s využitím bohatej duchovnej tradície. Jeho písanie je formované rozsiahlymi štúdiami filozofie a teológie a osobnými skúsenosťami so životom v komunite aj s prácou pre charitu. Svojich čitateľov zavedie do úvah o ľudskej povahe, morálke a zmysle života. Brodrickov štýl je premyslený a pokojný, odráža jeho hlboké porozumenie svetu.

    • "Father Anselm, the brilliant Benedictine, receives a visit from an old friend with a dangerous story to tell - the story of a woman betrayed by time, fate, and someone close to her - someone still unknown. As a young woman, Roza Mojeska was part of an underground resistance group in Communist Poland. But after her arrest, a Stasi officer makes her a devil's bargain - and in the dark of a government prison, a terrible choice is made. Now, fifty years later, Anselm is called upon to investigate both Roza's story and a mystery dating back to the early 1980s, in the icy grip of the Cold War. And as he peels back years of history, decades of secrets, a half-century of lies, he exposes a truth that an entire generation was killed to keep hidden."--Publisher description
