Synopsis of El camino de los difuntos

In 'El camino de los difuntos' (The Way of the Dead), François Sureau takes us to Paris in the 80s, where Javier Ibarrategui, a former ETA militant, seeks political asylum in France. Despite democracy in Spain, he fears for his life if he returns to the Basque Country. The jurist François Sureau becomes involved in this delicate case, which confronts him with concepts such as piety, guilt, and forgiveness, shaping his vision of justice and truth. This autobiographical novel, brief but intense, is a precise and moving work.
