  • Overview

    El Premio Internacional de Novela Rómulo Gallegos 2015 y uno de los titanes de la literatura colombiana nos deleita con una novela sobre Marco Aurelio y sus Meditaciones.

    «En esta extraordinaria novela, Pablo Montoya nos ofrece una evocación que conjuga de manera vivaz y dramática lo novelesco con los datos del pasado y una admiración luminosa hacia este inolvidable personaje histórico». -Carlos García Gual

    Cuarteles de invierno cerca de Sirmio, en la actual Serbia, siglo II. La peste, que llegó a Roma, continúa menguando a la población y al ejército, las invasiones bárbaras no han dado tregua, el ascenso del cristianismo agita las bases del imperio, y las sublevaciones y los rumores de las infidelidades de su esposa llegan a Marco Aurelio con inquina. El emperador, que lidió con grandeza tanto la guerra como los desafíos cotidianos de la familia y el amor, asumiendo el liderazgo bajo el modelo del romano ideal y a la vez como casi ningún hombre de su tiempo, reflexiona sobre su vida, la muerte y los límites del poder en esta magistral novela.

    Con la avezada pluma que lo caracteriza, Pablo Montoya hace gala de un agudo rigor histórico que presenta a los lectores un impactante fresco de la Roma imperial y una mirada única a un hombre que marcó la historia con su lucidez, coraje y humanidad.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    2015 Rómulo 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 García 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.
