«Espartaco. La rebelión de los gladiadores» is the historical novel by Arthur Koestler, published by Salvat in hardback (269 pages, in Spanish).
Koestler narrates the uprising of the gladiators led by Spartacus against the power of Rome and offers a pessimistic view of revolution: the leaders end up as fearsome to their men as the previous masters, and the slaves do not always understand the freedom proposed to them.
Work originally published in 1939 under the title The Gladiators; this Spanish edition appeared in 1994.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction interested in ancient Rome and in how revolutions work.
