Fernando Ossorio, a tormented young man, undertakes a purifying journey from Madrid to Levante to overcome his indolence and regain contact with nature. Pío Baroja interweaves mysticism and contrasts between life and death, divine and human love, religiosity and vital energy, and criticizes comfortable and rural Spain with regenerationist echoes.
«Camino de perfección» belongs to Pío Baroja's series «La vida fantástica», as the second installment. The work bears the subtitle «Pasión mística».
Suitable for the general public interested in classic fiction and early 20th-century Spanish narrative.
