The book narrates various events in the life of Pope John Paul II during his first 10 years of pontificate, that is, until 1988, just before the fall of the Berlin Wall. It does not pretend to be either a biography of the Pope or a chronology of his pontificate, but it manages to draw a portrait of the pontiff and to describe some aspects of the Church at that time.
