      Johannes Jörgensen píše svoju knihu v „ja-forme“. Je cudzinec, Dán, ktorý sám o sebe hovorí, že je „nehodný“. Putuje. Je to púť z miesta na miesto, od človeku k človeku, aby našiel sv. Františka a jeho ducha. Začína Rietskym údolím, stretáva sa s Talianmi, s nejakým manželským párom, ktorí boli v Ríme a on pri nich cítil, že sú preniknutí dobrotou. Potom sa stretáva s jedným kňazom, ktorý sa s ním dá reči a vysvitne, že pochádza z miest, ktoré chce autor navštíviť, z Greccia. Spomínajú meno Paula Sabatiera, ktorý svojou knihou o svätom Františkovi vytvoril novú epochu. „Smelo možno tvrdiť, že znovu prebudil záujem celého kultúrneho sveta o svätého Františka, najprv Životom sv. Františka a potom svojimi výbornými vydaniami viacerých františkánskych prameňov, ako aj tým, že podnietil mnohých mladších francúzskych, anglických a nemeckých vedcov, aby študovali františkánske hnutie. V júni 1902 bola na jeho popud založená Medzinárodná spoločnosť pre františkánske štúdiá.“
