Among the Saints Francis, Assisian is highly popular. Dante Aligieri devoted a whole chapter to him in the "Divine Comedy", Ferenz Liszt - pages of beautiful music, in his honor one of the largest American cities - San Francisco, wrote about him by the poets of the Russian Silver Age. Francis did not ignore the rock musicians, even the representative of the modern subculture, the famous rapper Oximiron mentioned him in one of his songs. The Hollywood star of Mickey Rourke played him in the cinema.
Francis became the hero of myths and legends. Their collection - the famous "flowers" - people of different cultures have been reading for several centuries. But the Assisian saint penetrated into elegant literature not only as a character. He managed to get the title of the founder of Italian literature, creating the ingenious "anthem of the Sun to the Sun" - the first literary monument in the Italian language in history. It is considered the patron saint of homeless animals. He is called the first ecologist, the first hippie, even "holy unbelievers". At the same time, his spiritual brainchild - the Franciscan Order - has been flourishing for the ninth century and today has about 30 thousand people. And the 266th Pope, selected in 2014, for the first time in the history of the papacy took the name in honor of the saint from Assisi.
What is the secret of such a wide exposure? How did the attitude to Francis change over time? How relevant are his ideas today? These and other similar issues are discussed in this book
