«La muerte de Virgilio» is the novel by Hermann Broch, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (568 pages, in Spanish).
In his final hours, the poet Virgil falls into a half-sleep where memories, perceptions and hallucinations mingle. The work, written as a long prose poem, combines philosophical reflection, lyricism and psychological analysis to question the value of art and language, drawing a parallel between Augustan Rome and its own era.
The novel originally appeared in 1945. Translated by José María Ripalda Crespo; part of the Alianza Literaria collection.
For readers interested in philosophical narrative and twentieth-century European literature.
Hermann Broch was an Austrian writer, best known for two major works of modernist fiction: The Sleepwalkers and The Death of Virgil.
