«El último abad» is the historical novel by Martí Gironell, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (416 pages, in Spanish).
In 1554, Abbot Pere Frigola tries to save the Benedictine monastery of Sant Benet from ruin, in a Catalonia devastated by political corruption and the interests of the Crown and the Church. The plot combines intrigue, ambition and human relationships, and shows the monastery's surroundings: traditions, art, vineyards and gastronomy.
The author, Martí Gironell, wrote the novel during a one-year stay at the monastery of Sant Benet. The work, translated from Catalan, was originally published in 2012.
May appeal to readers of historical and adventure fiction with a taste for intrigue, ambition and sixteenth-century monastic settings.
