MILAN, Italy (CNS) -- The English translation of Pope John Paul II's new book, "Get Up, Let Us Go," will be published by Time Warner Book Group in the United States in September. Oriana Daturi, spokeswoman for the Italian publisher Mondadori, which is handling foreign rights to the book, told Catholic News Service May 28 that a contract with Time Warner had been signed. The book, released in the original Polish and several other languages on the pope's 84th birthday May 18, is an autobiographical reflection on his 20 years as a bishop in communist Poland, 1958-78.
