Set in fourth-century Rome during the reign of Diocletian, it tells the story of Fabiola, a young pagan noblewoman who discovers the world of persecuted Christians. The novel portrays the catacombs, rites, martyrdom and faith of the Christian community, and draws a parallel with the situation of Catholics in nineteenth-century England.
The work was originally published in 1854; this edition is from 1982, printed in Barcelona, with illustrations.
For readers of historical fiction and religious classics, especially those interested in early Christianity and Rome in the Late Empire.
