Kniga, kotoruyu vy derzhite v rukah, iznachalno nosila nazvanie «Pod belym muarom» — v chest dorogogo frantsuzskogo shyolka, iz kotorogo shili znamenitye belye odeyaniya rimskih pap XIX–XX vekov. Na stranitsah izdaniya rasskazyvayutsya biografii vydayuschihsya lichnostey, chi sudby okazalis nerazryvno svyazany ne tolko s istoriey Italii, no i vsego mira. Zhizn pontifikov byla neobychayno interesna, a sobytiya, okruzhavshie ih, dostoyny luchshih ekranizatsiy. Kazhdyy iz rimskih pap byl v chem-to pohozh na nas. Oni lyubili i nenavideli, stradali i radovalis. Segodnya my s udovolstviem smotrim istoricheskie serialy, krasochno demonstriruyuschie sobytiya proshlogo, no pochemu by ne obratitsya k tekstu, kotoryy pozvolit vashemu voobrazheniyu gorazdo yarche predstavit to, o chem vy chitaete? Eta kniga — ne uchebnik i ne religioznaya literatura. Pered vami istoricheskaya saga, tolko ne snyataya na plenku, a napisannaya na bumage.
