«La catedral del mar» is the historical novel by Ildefonso Falcones, published by DEBOLSILLO in hardback (680 pages, in Spanish).
In fourteenth-century Barcelona, Arnau, a serf fleeing feudal oppression, manages to take refuge in the city and become a free man. While the Ribera neighbourhood drives the construction of the great church of Santa María de la Mar, Arnau's life rises from poverty to nobility and wealth, until a conspiracy by his envious rivals places him in the hands of the Inquisition. Loyalty, revenge, love and betrayal intertwine in a plot marked by religious intolerance, ambition and social segregation.
