As the first English pontiff in five centuries, he is a mass of contradictions: infallible and petulant, humble and despotic. Yet Hadrian the Seventh is really a knowing self-portrait of its flamboyant author Baron Corvo, a would-be priest with aristocratic pretensions, and one of the greatest eccentrics of English literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45084082536599,"sku":"9780241313022","price":490.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780241313022.webp?v=1767636433","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/hadrian-the-seventh-9780241313022","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
