«Creación» is the historical novel by Gore Vidal, published by Edhasa in hardback (624 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Cyrus Spitama, ambassador of an empire stretching from the Mediterranean to India, on a journey that leads him to meet and debate with Buddha, Confucius, Herodotus, Anaxagoras, Socrates and Pericles. Gore Vidal thus recreates a key cultural, philosophical and religious moment of ancient history.
This Spanish-language edition, translated by Carlos Peralta, was published in 2003 within Edhasa's Narrativas Históricas collection.
For the general public, especially readers of historical fiction interested in Antiquity and the history of ideas.
Eugene Luther Gore Vidal was an American writer and public intellectual known for his cynical epigrammatic wit. His novels and essays criticized the social and sexual norms he perceived as driving American life. Vidal was heavily involved in politics, and unsuccessfully sought office twice as a Democratic Party candidate, first in 1960 to the United States House of Representatives, and later in 1982 to the United States Senate.
