«El Papa del Mar» is the novel by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez published by Colección Pepe Navarro in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Claudio Borja, a young Valencian poet descended from the Borja family, investigates the history of his ancestor Benedict XIII, the famous Pope Luna, while courting Rosaura Salcedo, a wealthy Argentine widow. The narrative combines this romantic plot with the events of the Avignon Schism and the pontiff's stubborn resistance in Peñíscola.
First instalment of the «Los Borgia» series; the work was originally published in 1925.
Recommended for readers interested in historical fiction and the intrigues of the medieval papacy, with a tone that blends irony and romanticism.
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.
