The Failure (Un uomo finito)
by Giovanni Papini
Giovanni Papini's fierce autobiography of his years as a Florentine atheist provocateur — the prodigy who set out to demolish every faith and ended, by his own reckoning, a “finished man.” Written before his later conversion, a contemporary called it “a vestibule to the Life of Christ”: the firsthand record of the unbelief he would renounce. (English translation, 1924.)
The changed life
A celebrated anticlerical intellectual who edited journals dedicated to attacking Christianity, then converted to Catholicism and wrote a best-selling Life of Christ — the provocateur turned apologist.
