«El asombroso viaje de Pomponio Flato» is the historical and humorous novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Seix Barral in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
In the first century, Pomponio Flato travels in search of miraculous waters and arrives in Nazareth, where a carpenter awaits execution for a murder. The prisoner's son, a boy convinced of his father's innocence, hires him to investigate; the plot parodies the historical novel, the detective novel and hagiography.
The novel was published in 2008 and belongs to the Biblioteca Breve collection by Seix Barral; it also received the Terenci Moix Prize and the Silver Pen of the Bilbao Book Fair.
For readers of Eduardo Mendoza and fans of historical parody, humor and detective fiction.
