La Fe

Armando Palacio Valdes

“Faith” is Armando Palacio Valdés’s fifteen-chapter psychological and social novel. In the coastal town of Peñascosa, the earnest Father Gil hopes to convert the skeptic Álvaro Montesinos, but encounters with religious dogmatism, scientific materialism, and human suffering unsettle his certainty and turn his ministry into a search for faith grounded in compassion and conscience.
