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 Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48221021798635,"sku":"EB_LI0700_B01-09_SIMS","price":23.98,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780241313022-1.jpg?v=1781613729","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9780241313022","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
