Javier Cercas was presented in Rome, entitled “God’s Madman to the end of the world”. In the book, the author’s conversation, which is defined by the atheist and the rational, revolves around the Pope about the issue of the promise of eternal life. “With the Resurrection of Christ,” the Pope explains in response to the Spanish writer, “The seed of the resurrection of humanity has been cultivated.”

Elephant, anticipated, rational, emotional, strict evil. These are the definitions that Spanish writer Javier Serbas appears at the beginning of his new novel entitled “The Madman of God in the Wind the World”, which he published in Italy by the Guanda Publishing House and translated into more than thirty languages. The book, in which the author recounts his journey to Mongolia from August 31 to September 4, 2023 with Pope Francis, appeared in the framework of the second round of the presenter of the International Literature Festival in Rome, a program commissioned by the Minister of Culture Massimiliano Smiriglio.
Francisco, “Crazy God”
During the cultural event, which reaches the twenty -fourth version, the new Cercas novel, which arrived at libraries on April 1, was called at one time in Italy, Spain and Latin America. Dialogue with journalists Aldou Kazollo and Sebina Minardi, writer Javier Cereas toured the emergence of this work, and grew up in the Dicastering proposal for all communication. The book, which was impregnated with an increasing nostalgia of God, has a support point: the intimate conversation of the author, face to face, with the Pope, defined as “the crazy man of God.” An expression also used by San Francisco, the name chosen by Jorge Bergolio after his choice to the throne of Pedro.
The writer Javier Cercas presented his works in front of the audience who was crowded with the studio theater of Burgna in the hall: “This book is unique and crazy and I feel proud. It is a police novel because there is a mystery. There are many” characters “in the novel. Among them, some Dicastery representatives of the call that suggested writing a novel in absolute freedom on the Pope’s journey to Mongolia. The big challenge was to work without biases. The Spanish writer said: “For me, everything was a permanent surprise. Everything was different from what I expected. He said:“ The novel is a book of humor. Pontef himself claims to feel humor. ”Pope Francis said, he has always surprised the whole world. It is a hostile door for the equation, against the words, against the idea that Cleregi is to explain what he explains.” My faith again, otherwise I will not sell a copy of the novel … “The center of the book is the madness of God, the Pope. Another hero is me, the crazy man without God. The reality gave me a miracle of the conclusion of the novel.”
A novel about the resurrection
“The book of the Spanish writer flows brilliantly to a dry page after it revolves around several characters.” He said that this book is a biography of the Pope, and it is a novel about the resurrection of the body. It is also “a reflection on the moment of life in which parents die.” “An extraordinary man and an ordinary man,” added Aldou Kazollo, a picture of the Pope. Journalist Sabina Menardy remembers, reached some pages of the book, “Disturbing the Pope of Tuma”, her love for “I Promisessi Sposi” (promised), and for poetry. In the novel, you see how Francisco has a sharp sense of the future, history and memory.
Un enigma
In an interview with the Vatican News, the writer Javier Serbas emphasizes that the book is a “mystery” about the issue of what promised eternal life.
Writer Javier Cercas at the center
Has he arrived eternity?
The novel El Loco De Dios until the end of the world is a journey, rich in humor, with an intimate and personal dimension that challenges the heart of every man at the end. In his book, Javier Cercas, who admits that he is a writer because he lost faith, confirms that he is “a crazy man without God chasing the man of God until the end of the world.” He explains that he ascended to the plane towards Mongolia to ask Pope Francis as a specific question: “I want to tell him that my mother is ninety years old, who believes in God and meets that when he dies, he will meet my father.” The decisive question indicates the promise of eternal life and is finally raised to the Pope. The last question asked by the Spanish writer during his conversation with Francisco is an integral part of confirmation. “I can tell my mother that when she dies, you will see my father again.” “The reaction of the Pope – a fool of God reads in the book at the end of the world – is a full thing: it does not hesitate for one second, ten seconds, and not a thousand thousand of a thousand seconds …”
His mother heard the Pope’s responses, which were also photographed, by his mother, Javier Cereas. Your reaction is well described in the book. “My mother’s face is an irreplaceable wrinkle maze. It does not seem to be pleased: it appears to be dyed through the scope or nature of what he has just heard, and perhaps unable to absorb it with his decreasing brain, and more always … ».
