«La búsqueda de un reino imaginario» is Lev Gumilev's historical essay on the legend of Prester John, published by Editorial Crítica in hardback.
The book explores how the legend of a utopian kingdom ruled by Prester John fuelled the medieval imagination and became interwoven with the real history of the Asian steppes. Gumilev analyses the ethnogenesis of nomadic peoples and contacts between East and West, separating myth from reality in the historical construction of Central Asia.
1994 edition in the Drakontos collection, with a prologue by Josep Fontana and a Spanish translation by Evgueni Agaltsev and Raquel Ribó. Includes illustrations, maps, bibliography and indexes; 467 pages.
