Sir Tomas Moro. Lord Canciller De Inglaterra by Juan Manuel de Prada

Lord Canciller De Inglaterra

A compact, novelistic portrait of the English humanist and statesman who rises to the highest office of the Tudor state and is ultimately consumed by the clash between conscience and royal power: his intellectual rigor, legal acumen and devout faith bring him into irreconcilable conflict with the king’s political ambitions, leading to a dramatic trial and martyrdom. The book mixes historical detail with psychological insight to explore how integrity, faith and political duty collide in a tragic personal destiny.
