From Montserrat to the Holy Land to fulfill a life's mission. Montserrat, 1910. Monk Bonaventura Ubach schedules a meeting with the abbot of his monastery. He needs to present his most ambitious project to the Most Reverend.

Thus, Monk Ubach embarks on a veritable odyssey to the Holy Land and Mesopotamia, accompanied by other religious and Bedouin. Hoping to obtain pieces for display in the future Biblical Museum at the Montserrat Monastery in Barcelona, and desiring to illustrate a Catalan edition of the Bible, Father Ubach encounters desert storms, biblical plagues, cruel sheikhs, armies, and various setbacks, but he also finds himself confronted with the wonders and charms of the region's culture and people. The Archaeologist is a captivating novel based on the true story of the Benedictine monk Bonaventura Ubach.
