«El Papa del Mar» is the novel by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback and in Spanish.
The novel interweaves two stories: that of the Aragonese Pedro de Luna, Pope Benedict XIII during the Avignon Schism, and that of Claudio Borja, a Valencian poet and his descendant who investigates his past while courting Rosaura Salcedo, an Argentine widow. Medieval intrigues and the castle of Peñíscola frame this tale of adventure and love.
First instalment of the Borgia series. The novel was originally published in 1925 and is set in the era of the Avignon Schism, with the castle of Peñíscola as the setting.
Valencian novelist and politician, author of La Barraca, Reeds and Mud and The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, a major international bestseller of his day.
