«El Viatge d'en Théo» is the novel by Catherine Clément, published by Siruela Catalan in paperback (600 pages, in Catalan).
Young Théo and his eccentric aunt Marthe travel from country to country to learn about the great religions. At each stop they try to find an answer, specific to each tradition, to the question of God's existence; among temples, celebrations and sacred symbols, the protagonist discovers other worldviews and changes his way of understanding the world.
For readers interested in the dialogue between religions and in travel as a learning experience.
