 Curriculum

He has been working as a civil servant of the Xunta de Galicia since 2002 (Consellería de Educación e Ordenación Universitaria, Consellería de Medio Rural and Consellería de Presidencia, Xustiza e Administracións Públicas). He feels passion for ancient civilizations, mainly the Roman and Celtic ones. With his first novel, “Las hijas del César”, he was selected among the ten final candidates to the Planeta Novel Prize in 2006 (55th edition). “As fillas do César”, published by Edicións El Andén in May 2008 in several languages, reached the second edition in just a month (June 2008). In December it got the fifth edition and another one in Galician.

 

He got the recognition of readers, librarians and means of communication as he reached privileged positions on the market. In many Spanish cities he even displaced Carlos Ruiz Zafón. "Con esta novela, Pablo Núñez regalounos unha intensa viaxe pola Galicia dos césares cos ingredientes da mellor novela de aventuras", Marta Rivera de la Cruz (Finalist of the Planeta Novel Prize with “En Tiempo de Prodigios”). “Pablo Núñez vai ser un gran escritor de novelas históricas”, Juan Gómez-Jurado (Winner of Torrevieja Prize in 2008 with “El emblema del Traidor”).

After over six years of research and writing, Pablo Núñez shows in his first novel a surprising ability to recreate history by means of intrigue, passion and adventure. Lucus Augusti is at the same time the scene and character of this story, a particular homage of the author to his native city. In 2010, he wrote his second book, "Ladrones de historias" (two editions)
