| Summary |
"Fr. Luis Martín García was superior general of the Society of Jesus during one of the most fractious periods in western history, 1892 to his death in 1906. Fortunately for both the church and his order, he was endowed with remarkable gifts of mind and spirit. He was also troubled with personal challenges that he had to face almost entirely on his own. As an aid, he kept a memoir, prodigious in both size and content, to be published posthumously. Having appeared in a critical Spanish edition (1988), David Schultenover has herewith provided a concise English version and interpretation engaging the question, Why would a Jesuit superior general leave to posterity such a candid memoir? The subtitle "Showing Up" provides a clue"-- Provided by publisher |
