«Yo el Supremo» is the historical novel by Augusto Roa Bastos, published by Círculo de Lectores in 1996, in paperback (559 pages, in Spanish).
The novel recreates the figure of José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia, the 19th-century Paraguayan dictator known as El Supremo. With a fragmentary structure that mixes history and fiction, Roa Bastos reflects on absolute power, the isolation of those who wield it, and the construction of Paraguayan national identity.
Second installment of Roa Bastos's «Trilogía sobre el monoteísmo del poder». The work was originally published in 1974; this edition includes an introduction by Rafael Conte and a prologue by Alberto Cousté.
For readers of historical fiction and Latin American literature, especially those who want to delve into the figure of the dictator and power.
