«El mundo, la carne y el padre Smith» is the novel by Bruce Marshall, published by Noguer y Caralt in paperback (280 pages, in Spanish).
The novel is set in an urban parish in Scotland at the beginning of the 20th century and follows the daily life of Father Smith, a Catholic priest. Between humor and drama, it portrays his joys, setbacks and hopes: the routine of his ministry intersects with human miseries and the small miracles of grace.

For readers of 20th-century British fiction with an interest in stories with a parish setting and religious background.
