Riassunto

Many artists - literary as well as visual - have considered the life of Francis of Assisi, but none until now has presented Francis himself from a first-person perspective.
Prompted by the question of what it would have been like to be Francis, artist Kathleen Fruge-Brown chose seven scenes from Francis's life, including giving alms to a leper, renouncing material possessions, cutting Clare's hair, building a snow-family, receiving the stigmata, composing "The Canticle of the Sun," and dying. A common viewpoint unites the seven images: in each the viewer sees the scene as if through Francis's eyes.
The accompanying text - one chapter per image - is also from a first-person perspective, with a voice that reveals as much about the man as do the stories he tells.
