«Memorias de Adriano» is the historical novel by Marguerite Yourcenar, published by Edhasa in paperback (376 pages, in Spanish).
The novel is presented as a letter written by Emperor Hadrian in his final years, addressed to the young Marcus Aurelius, to review his reign: the wars, the travels across the empire, power, and his reflections on love and death. The narrative blends memory, philosophy, and a portrait of second-century Rome.
1999 edition in the Pocket collection (no. 57), with a translation by Julio Cortázar. The French original, Mémoires d'Hadrien, was published in 1951.
For readers of historical fiction and twentieth-century classics, particularly those interested in ancient Rome and the work of Marguerite Yourcenar.
