Set in fourth-century Rome, the novel follows Julian, an emperor who tried to restore Hellenism against the rise of Christianity.

The translation from English is by Eduardo Masullo; the original work, «Julian», was published in 1964. This 1983 edition belongs to the Narrativas de Edhasa collection.
Aimed at readers of historical fiction interested in late antiquity and the conflict between Hellenism and Christianity.
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.
