«Pericles el ateniense» is the historical novel by Rex Warner, published by Edhasa in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Athens enjoys its greatest political, economic and artistic splendour under Pericles, and Rex Warner narrates it through the supposed memoirs of Anaxagoras, the ruler's teacher. The novel combines the portrait of the statesman with the cultural and military life of the 5th century BC, and poses a moral examination of the exercise of power and the meaning of democracy.

For readers of historical fiction set in classical Greece and fiction with a political and philosophical background.
