«Juliano el apóstata» is the historical novel by Gore Vidal, published by Edhasa in hardback (516 pages, in Spanish).
The novel narrates the life of Julian, a fourth-century Roman emperor, determined to restore the worship of the classical gods against Christianity, which was imposing itself as the Empire's dominant religion. Vidal portrays the political and religious struggles of a transitional era, in which an old world crumbles and another takes its place.
Spanish translation by Eduardo Masullo. The original, «Julian», was published in 1964. It is part of the Narrativas Históricas collection.
For readers of historical fiction and followers of Gore Vidal, with an interest in the Roman Empire and late antiquity.
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.
