«Prisciliano de Compostela» is the historical novel by Spanish writer Ramón Chao, published by Seix Barral in paperback (319 pages, in Spanish).
The novel combines a motorcycle journey from Paris to Compostela with the reconstruction of the life of Priscillian, a fourth-century bishop executed for heresy. The narrative alternates that historical past with the traveller's personal experience and the stories discovered along the way, with irony, intrigue and an air of Galician magical realism.
Prisciliano de Compostela belongs to the «Los tres mundos» collection and the volume includes bibliographical references.
For readers of historical fiction interested in early Christianity and the Galician narrative tradition.
