Balthasar Cossa is a man whose name is shrouded in legend. He went down in history as Pope John XXIII, but even half of the sins attributed to him would have been enough for the greatest sinner. For over five centuries, the name John—previously particularly popular among pontiffs—was considered tainted, having been appropriated in the early 15th century by Cossa, who earned the reputation of a pirate, murderer, and libertine.

"Balthasar Cossa" is the last completed novel by the writer and philologist Dmitry Mikhailovich Balashov, author of the grand cycle "The Sovereigns of Moscow." This time, inviting readers to journey into the turbulent era of the Great Schism of the Roman Church, Dmitry Balashov offers his vision of Balthasar Cossa, John XXIII—whether slandered by his detractors or truly deserving of his dark notoriety.

This collection also includes stories and short stories by Dmitry Balashov.
