«L'anneau du pêcheur» is the historical novel by Jean Raspail, published by Albin Michel in paperback (403 pages, in French).
At Christmas 1993, an elderly beggar claims to be called Benoît and appears in Rodez. Vatican secret services link him to a line of antipopes that did not die out after the Council of Constance and to the fisherman's ring, emblem of a hidden Church. The intrigue pits fidelity against oblivion, faith against power.
Novel in Jean Raspail's Pikkendorff series, winner of the Prix Maison de la Presse in 1995.
For readers of French historical fiction and Vatican intrigues, with an interest in dilemmas of faith, tradition and power.
Jean Paul Raspail was a French explorer, novelist and travel writer. He was a recipient of the prestigious French literary awards Grand Prix du Roman and Grand Prix de littérature by the Académie Française. The French government honoured him in 2003 by appointing him to the Legion of Honour, with the grade of Officer. Although the majority of his books are travelogues or novels about historical figures, exploration and indigenous peoples, internationally, he is best known for his controversial 1973 novel The Camp of the Saints, which is about mass third-world immigration to Europe.
