A deceitful lackey of the catholic church, a glorified life-hater, a misanthrope in the guise of a saint. Francis embodies all of these personalities at the same time, and his sheer disdain for the world permeates the whole book from the first page of the volume down to the last line, while Bonaventure tries to frame his life as a prime example of ideal path to follow as a Christian. The schizophrenic bouts which the poor Francis is victim of are a part of his daily routine, and these frequent visions of YAWEH are the motivating force that feed his loathsome disposition and enkindle the fire of insanity within his young mind. Much like the majority of the clergy in the middle ages, his words carry as much value and significance as a North Korean press release, but this time Bonaventure goes out of his way to idolize and shower with compliments Francis almost as Yeshua Ben Yosef, the founder of judeo-christianity, contributing to the overall tediousness of the book.

A classic work of Christian literature commissioned by the Franciscan Order in the year 1250,The Life of St. Francis by St. Bonaventure--the Tuscan scholastic theologian and the greatest Franciscan mystic after St. Francis himself--is both a biography and an enlightening and inspiring spiritual treatise. A noteworthy addition to the HarperCollins Spiritual Classics series with a foreword by Donna Tartt, author of The Little Friend and The Secret History, this new edition of Bonaventure's The Life of St. Francis reflects profoundly on the life of the virtues which Francis presented as the ideal of Gospel perfection.
