«Los jardines de luz» is the historical novel by Amin Maalouf, published in 1994 by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (262 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative follows Mani, born near the Tigris, and his drive to found Manichaeism, a doctrine seeking to reconcile Christianity, Buddhism, and Zoroastrianism. Maalouf recreates his pilgrimage from Ctesiphon to India and on to Beth-Lapat, where his message clashes with the empires that end up persecuting him.
Original title: Les jardins de lumière. Translation by María Concepción García-Lomas and introduction by Jesús Navarro; hardcover edition with dust jacket.
For readers of historical fiction interested in the figure of Mani, religious syncretism, and the conflict between faith and power.
