«L'arqueòleg» is the historical fiction novel by Martí Gironell, published by Columna CAT in hardcover (384 pages, in Catalan).
The novel fictionalizes the life of the Montserrat monk Bonaventura Ubach, promoter of the Bíblia de Montserrat and of the Museum of the Biblical East. It narrates his travels through biblical lands, from Egypt to Iraq, to contrast the Scriptures with real settings and gather archaeological pieces. A subplot about the tunics of the Holy Family of Jesus provides the thread of mystery.
Third novel by Martí Gironell, in which he returns to fiction about a real character. It belongs to the Clàssica collection. It was published to coincide with the centenary of the biblical museum of Montserrat (2011).
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and for those who want to approach religious culture and Catalan heritage through an adventure narrative.
