Flávio Bolsonaro, son of the former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, has won the first round of Brazil's presidential election, but without securing outright victory.

It went on sale on Tuesday in Britain, United States of America, Australia, and in several Commonwealth countries.

The original Italian version was published by the Vatican Publishing House under the title Liberi Sotto la Grazia.

The book brings together the Pope's reflections on the legacy of St. Augustine that have shaped his spirituality and vision of the world.
