«El complot de María Magdalena» is the historical novel by Gerald Messadié, published by Debolsillo in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
The novel suggests that Mary Magdalene may have devised a conspiracy to save Jesus from crucifixion: bribing the soldiers, delaying the execution, and recovering his body to simulate the resurrection. It also reconstructs the political and religious atmosphere of the era, with Rome, Jerusalem, the high priests, and the prophets roaming the desert.
This edition belongs to Debolsillo's Bestseller collection as number 631 and includes the translation by Manuel Serrat Crespo; the original title is «L’affaire Marie-Madeleine».
For readers of historical fiction interested in alternative interpretations of the Gospels and in the debate over Mary Magdalene's role.
Gerald Messadié was a French scientific journalist, essayist and novelist. His work comprised historical novels, biographies, essays on the history of religions, and some science fiction work where esoterism takes a large place.
