«El viatge d'en Théo» is the young adult novel by Catherine Clément, published by Siruela in hardback (576 pages, in Catalan).
Young Théo and his eccentric aunt Marthe travel through Jerusalem, Benares, Delphi, Istanbul, Dakar, Rio de Janeiro, Jakarta, New York, Kyoto and Cairo in search of answers about the existence of God. At each stop they meet sages from different traditions who show them beliefs, rites and customs; a spiritual journey that prepares Théo for the true challenge, that of life.
Fourth volume in the Ediciones en catalán / Las Tres Edats collection. Originally published in French as «Le Voyage de Théo»; translated by Àlvar Valls.
Recommended for young readers interested in religions, philosophy and travel, and for those seeking a novelistic introduction to the world's beliefs.
