William Brodrick

    1 januari 1960

    William Brodricks werk duikt in diepgaande ethische en filosofische vragen, vaak puttend uit rijke spirituele tradities. Zijn schrijven wordt gevormd door uitgebreide studies in filosofie en theologie, naast persoonlijke ervaringen van gemeenschapsleven en werk voor goede doelen. Hij leidt lezers ertoe na te denken over de menselijke natuur, moraliteit en de zoektocht naar betekenis. Brodricks proza is bedachtzaam en sereen, wat een diep begrip van de wereld weerspiegelt.

    • "Father Anselm, the brilliant Benedictine, receives a visit from an old friend with a dangerous story to tell - the story of a woman betrayed by time, fate, and someone close to her - someone still unknown. As a young woman, Roza Mojeska was part of an underground resistance group in Communist Poland. But after her arrest, a Stasi officer makes her a devil's bargain - and in the dark of a government prison, a terrible choice is made. Now, fifty years later, Anselm is called upon to investigate both Roza's story and a mystery dating back to the early 1980s, in the icy grip of the Cold War. And as he peels back years of history, decades of secrets, a half-century of lies, he exposes a truth that an entire generation was killed to keep hidden."--Publisher description
