«Avicena o la ruta de Isfahán» is the historical novel by Gilbert Sinoué, published by Ediciones B in paperback (510 pages, in Spanish).
The novel traces the life of Ibn Sina, known in the West as Avicenna, an 11th-century Persian physician and thinker, one of the first interpreters of Aristotle and a continuer of Hippocratic medicine. Sinoué shows him as a political adviser, outlaw, prisoner, lover and a man full of concerns, following his journey to Isfahan.
The novel was originally published in French as «Avicenne ou la route d'Ispahan»; this Spanish edition, translated by Manuel Serrat Crespo, appeared in 1995.
For readers of historical fiction who enjoyed «El médico», as well as for those interested in medieval Persia and fictionalised biographies of scholars.
