Carmen Bernos de Gasztold is known for her collection of short poems that express the prayers of various animals on Noah's Ark, and "Prayers from the Ark" is her most famous work, which has also been translated into Croatian.
The book is not a classic novel or a theological work, but a series of spiritual meditations, dialogues, and "speeches" that the author claims were inspired to her from above.
Joseph Ratzinger, the future Pope Benedict XVI, gave a series of lectures at the University of Tübingen in 1968, which became the bestseller Introduction to Christianity – a profound interpretation of the apostolic faith in the crisis of the modern era.
