«Barrabás» is the historical novel by Pär Lagerkvist, published by Ediciones Encuentro in paperback (120 pages, in Spanish).
The novel is set in the days of the crucifixion and follows Barabbas, the prisoner released while Jesus is executed. Having his life spared leaves him trapped between guilt and disbelief; on his subsequent journey he crosses paths with believers and with the mark of the cross, in a story about faith, doubt and redemption.
The work was originally published in 1950. The Spanish translation is by Martín Aldao and the volume belongs to the Literatura collection, where it is number 21.
For readers of historical and religious fiction interested in moral conscience and the meaning of belief.
Pär Fabian Lagerkvist was a Swedish author who received the 1951 Nobel Prize in Literature.
