The Infinite Path: A Story of Love and Magic on the Camino de Santiago
A man trying to escape himself seeks his salvation on the Camino Frances, unaware that an exciting adventure awaits him that will change his life forever: an enigmatic game in which he will have to wager his destiny beyond death. At the start of his journey, Noe finds a letter and a notebook written thirty-five years earlier by Gabriel. In these notes, Gabriel reveals that his wife, Vega, is pregnant but suffering from terminal cancer. Despite the circumstances, the two of them decide to begin their pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela with the senseless hope… of what? As Noe reads the incredible contents of the pages, the search for the couple becomes his own personal Grail, a pagan journey along the Camino. Did Vega reach Finisterre? Did she manage to give birth to her baby, or did she die on the adventure? On his way to Santiago, our protagonist will encounter unexpected guides and unsuspected enemies who covet the notebook he carries. Will Noe manage to reach the finis terrae, or will he suffer a “second death”?
Reviews of The Infinite Path
«If you love the Camino, this is your book; if you enjoy a good novel, this is your book. Its pages will lead us along the Sacred Route through a story that unites two worlds: love and pain; profane and sacred; knowing or not knowing. Our view of the Camino will never be the same again.»
Sebastian Vazquez, writer
«Certain books have a journey, a destination and hidden mysteries. Correctly deciphering the ones Luis Mariano offers will lead you to understand the secret of infinite life and to know that, in truth, there are two deaths to overcome.»
Jesus Callejo
«When the protagonist of this novel laughs or cries, it is the author himself doing so, in an extraordinary exercise of emotional transparency that only the Camino can bring about.»
Lorenzo Fernandez Bueno, writer and director of the magazine Ano/Cero
