Kliuchi Tsarstva - Kronin A.

Francis Chisholm is a kind-hearted and humble priest whose individuality and spontaneity make him unpopular with the clergy. To get rid of the "uncomfortable" priest, he is sent by China. For more than thirty years, Chisholm supported the mission despite extreme poverty, civil war, plague and hostility of his superiors. Battling with stupidity, bigotry and cruelty, Father Chisholm receives the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, which cannot be forged, bought or stolen.
Cronin's novel is a fascinating, energetic, colorful story about a deeply spiritual man who does good in an imperfect world.
"Keys of the Kingdom" is one of the best adaptations of modern English literature with the inimitable Gregory Peck in the title role.
