Arturo Pérez-Reverte returns with a novel built around the Wandering Jew
The Spanish writer's new book, 'La hipótesis más peligrosa', braids the old legend with a father-and-son voyage across the Mediterranean, according to El País.
Arturo Pérez-Reverte has published a new novel, 'La hipótesis más peligrosa', which weaves the medieval myth of the Wandering Jew into a coming-of-age story about a father and son sailing the Mediterranean and tracing its history, according to El País.
In an interview with the newspaper, the author described what keeps him returning to the desk after a long career built on historical adventure and naval fiction. "Me pone caliente cada nueva novela, cada batalla me obliga a ser joven de nuevo" ("Every new novel excites me, every battle forces me to be young again"), he said, according to El País.
The summary gives no further detail on plot, length or publisher, and no French edition or translation has been mentioned in the source material. Pérez-Reverte, a member of the Real Academia Española, has long paired swashbuckling narrative with reflections on history and memory, themes that again anchor this latest book.
