From his humble beginnings to his elevation as a papal figure advocating for social justice and modernisation, the book captures the essence of a leader who sought to bridge the gap between tradition and progress. Key events, such as the encyclical Rerum Novarum, are explored, highlighting Leo's commitment to addressing the challenges faced by the working class.
