«Juliano, el Apóstata» is Gore Vidal's historical novel about the Roman emperor Julian, published by Círculo de Lectores in 1992 in hardback (580 pages, in Spanish).
The novel recreates the life of Julian, nephew of Constantine the Great, who became emperor of Rome in the fourth century and tried to halt the spread of Christianity by restoring the cult of the Hellenic gods. Through his figure, Gore Vidal portrays the political and religious tensions of a turbulent era, combining historical narrative with reflection on power, faith and the fate of the Empire.
The edition includes a translation by Eduardo Masullo, revision by Víctor León and an introduction by Luis Antonio de Villena. It is part of the Momentos Estelares de la Historia collection from Círculo de Lectores.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction set in classical antiquity and for those seeking a literary approach to the conflict between paganism and Christianity in Rome.
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.
