«La última confesión» is the historical novel by Morris West, published by Javier Vergara in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
The novel recreates the last months of Giordano Bruno, a Dominican friar and rationalist philosopher, tried by the Inquisition and condemned to the stake in Rome in 1600. Imprisoned and tortured, Bruno recalls his life in a mosaic of anecdotes and reflections on God, man and the universe, and upholds his ideas against the intolerance of ecclesiastical power.
West died while writing it; the novel appeared in 2000 with a foreword by Tom Keneally.
Aimed at readers of historical fiction and fiction with a religious and intellectual background.
