«El hombre de Apulia» is the historical novel by Horst Stern, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (332 pages, in Spanish).
Emperor Frederick II (1197-1250) narrates his memoirs in a thirteenth century of emerging cities and struggle between the papacy and the empire. The work combines his role as feudal sovereign with his scientific curiosity, his passion for falconry and his interest in Muslim culture. It presents a character excommunicated and nicknamed «the Antichrist».
The German original, «Mann aus Apulien», was published in 1988. The Spanish translation is by Pilar Giralt Gorina.
For readers interested in the Middle Ages and the figure of Frederick II.
German television presenter and journalist (1922-2019)
