Are you joking?
Grey Eminence: A Study in Religion and Politics, by Aldous Huxley. It's a biography, mostly focused in Temblay's religiousness (which was most important for the man himself and directed his political work). Great writing.

Yes. And he makes for a cunning and exasperating and menacing presence throughout the story.
