“Karol Wojtyła, Pope John Paul II, was a man whose life was the
expression of a richly textured and multidimensional soul. The many
layers of that soul took on their first, mature form in Kraków.”
– George Weigel 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.
