"The century of the miracle" reaches its third edition in Galician and second in Spanish in less than a year
The historical novel «The century of the miracle», by the Compostela author Rodrigo Costoya, continues to accumulate successes in the publishing scene after achieving the third edition in Galician and the second in Spanish less than a year after its release. This wide acceptance among readers from different regions reveals the growing interest in the historical roots of the Camino de Santiago and the city itself Santiago de Compostela.
The work, set in the key years of the construction of the cathedral and focused on the figure of the archbishop Diego Gelmirez, has captured the attention of a diverse audience thanks to its agile narrative, short chapters, and mix of real events with elements of historical intrigue. The impact of the novel has been reflected not only in the sales figures, but also in the receipt of literary awards, including recognition for the Best Historical Novel of 2025 in different competitions.
The publisher has announced that these new editions, both in Galician and Spanish, will reach the main bookstores and points of sale in the coming days, consolidating the presence of the work in the market. Likewise, the author is preparing new meetings and presentations with readers, which are serving to strengthen the link between historical literature and the community that closely follows the stories related to Galicia and the emergence of the Camino de Santiago as a cultural and spiritual phenomenon.
This publishing phenomenon occurs in a context of renewed interest in the history of the region, where literature plays a key role in disseminating lesser-known stories from the past, bringing readers closer to characters and eras that marked the future of the Iberian Peninsula.
