ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

2015 Rmulo Gallegos International Novel Prize winner and one of the titans in Colombian literature delights us with a novel about Marcus Aurelius and his Meditations.

“In this extraordinary novel, Pablo Montoya offers an evocation that conjugates, in a vivacious and dramatic way, the literary with historical information and a luminous admiration for this unforgettable historical figure.” –Carlos Garca Gual

Winter quarters near Sirmium, now Serbia, second century. The plage, that has reached Rome, keeps waning the population and the army; barbarian invasions have not ceased; Christianity’s ascent shakes the foundations of the empire, and the uprisings and the rumors of his wife’s infidelity reach Marcus Aurelius with malice. The emperor, who dealt masterfully with war and everyday challenges of family and love, assuming leadership under the model of the ideal Roman and at the same time as a man like almost no other then, reflects on his life, death, and the limits of power in this exceptional novel.

With his characteristically expert hand, Pablo Montoya flaunts an acute historical rigor that offers readers a shocking fresco of imperial Rome and a unique insight into a man that left a mark in history with his lucidity, courage, and humanity.
