«Calixto I, el papa olvidado» is the historical novel by Gilbert Sinoué, published by Ediciones B. in hardback (514 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place two centuries after the death of Christ, when the Christian Church faces persecutions and internal divisions. Calixto, sold as a slave and dragged from Rome to Alexandria, from Antioch to Sardinia, seeks a destiny no one would have predicted: becoming the sixteenth successor of Saint Peter.
The Spanish edition was published in 1994; the translation is by Manuel Serrat Crespo. The French original, «La pourpre et l'olivier, ou, Calixte 1er, le pape oublié», appeared in 1987.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction interested in early Christianity and second-century Rome.
