In Palestine, in the early years of our era, Jewish nationalism grows under Roman rule. The work combines epic and intimacy and follows a Galilean who travels through Canaan, Phoenicia, Syria and Alexandria after the Ptolemies, with contributions on Jewish culture and traditions. The plot converges with the unknown youth of Jesus.
It belongs to twentieth-century Spanish literature; the cover indicates the 3rd edition and includes the motto «Soledad, amor... en clave oriental».
For readers of historical fiction interested in Roman Palestine and the times of Jesus.
