In the Provence of three critical eras —the fall of Rome, the Black Death in Avignon, and the Second World War—, three men attempt to preserve civilization and its values. Their stories intertwine with a Neoplatonic text, El sueño de Escipión, which interrogates virtue and the relationship between power and wisdom.
Spanish translation by Vicente Villacampa of the English original The Dream of Scipio, published in 2002. The Spanish version was published in 2003.
For readers of historical fiction and literary fiction who appreciate plots that interweave different eras with philosophical debates.
