Investigated, tortured, and imprisoned by the Inquisition, Dominican monk Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake for heresy on 17 February 1600. Now, four hundred years later, Morris West brings Bruno's story to life in the form of a diary that Bruno may have kept. Once considered his family, the Dominican monks and Catholic Church are now Bruno's torturers. Knowing that he will soon be killed for his beliefs and desperate to leave some record of his existence behind, Bruno begins to write his story in a mosaic of thoughts, anecdotes, and memories. In it, we see a Bruno who was a flawed priest, a brilliant philosopher, and a man willing to die for the integrity of his ideas. West's final book.
