«El sueño de Escipión» is the historical novel by Iain Pears, published by Seix Barral in hardback (560 pages, in Spanish).
The novel interweaves three stories set in Provence during the fall of the Roman Empire, the Black Death and the Second World War. Manlio Hipómanes, Olivier de Noyen and Julien Barneuve live through three turbulent eras and share a fascination with the same woman, while their fates cross paths with a classic philosophical text, the Dream of Scipio, which reflects on power and wisdom.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and literary fiction with intellectual intrigue, in the vein of The Name of the Rose.
