«El archivo de Egipto» is the historical novel by Leonardo Sciascia, published by Bruguera in hardcover (186 pages, in Spanish).
In Palermo in 1783, Abbot Vella, a cleric hungry for fame and wealth, pretends to translate a codex from the era of Arab domination and ends up inventing a document that calls into question the privileges of the Sicilian nobility. Through this imposture, Sciascia reflects with irony on power, corruption and the pursuit of truth.
First Spanish-language edition of 1980, Club Bruguera collection no. 20, translated by Ana Goldar.
