The novel addresses the reign of Julià l'Apòstata, a fourth-century Roman emperor, through diaries recovered by two contemporaries. It portrays a sovereign devoted to the gods and customs of the ancient world, amid the expansion of Christianity, with a lucid view of power, politics, and sex.
The work was originally published in 1964 as «Julian»; this Catalan edition features the translation by Joan Puntí Recasens and belongs to the Novel·la Històrica collection.
For readers of historical fiction interested in Late Antiquity and in Gore Vidal's narrative.
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.
