"Een jong knechtje raakt betrokken bij de bouw van een kathedraal in het 14e-eeuwse Barcelona."
"Arnau flieht mit seinem Vater vor einem brutalen Lehnsherren ins mittelalterliche Barcelona. Er arbeitet auf der Baustelle der Kathedrale Santa Maria del Mar und spürt die dunklen Schatten über dem Leben des Volkes: die Willkür des Adels und die Pest vor den Toren. Er selber wird zu einem der angesehensten Bürger der Stadt. Doch dies wird ihm zum Verhängnis und sein Leben gerät in Gefahr."

""CreIble y fascinante... tan maravillosamente estructurada que las Ultimas sesenta pAginas se detonan como un cordel de fuegos artificiales". 'The Washington Post En el siglo XIV, la ciudad de Barcelona se encuentra en su momento de mayor prosperidad. Ha crecido hacia la Ribera, el humilde barrio de los pescadores, cuyos habitantes deciden construir, con el dinero de unos y el esfuerzo de otros, el mayor templo mariano jamAs conocido: Santa MarIa del Mar. Una construcciOn que es paralela a la azarosa historia de Arnau, un siervo de la tierra que huye de los abusos de su seNor feudal y se refugia en Barcelona, donde se convierte en ciudadano y, con ello, en hombre libre. El joven Arnau trabaja como palafrenero, estibador, soldado y cambista. Una vida extenuante, siempre al amparo de la Catedral del Mar, que le iba a llevar de la miseria del fugitivo a la nobleza y la riqueza. Pero con esta posiciOn privilegiada tambiEn le llega la envidia de sus pares, que urden una sOrdida conjura que pone su vida en manos de la InquisiciOn... La catedral del mar es una trama en la que se entrecruzan lealtad y venganza, traiciOn y amor, guerra y peste, en un mundo marcado por la intolerancia religiosa, la ambiciOn material y la segregaciOn social. Todo ello convierte a esta obra no sOlo en una novela absorbente, sino tambiEn en la mAs fascinante y ambiciosa recreaciOn de las luces y sombras de la Epoca feudal."
