«Yo, el Supremo» is the historical novel by Augusto Roa Bastos, published by RBA in hardback (544 pages, in Spanish).
The novel is based on the figure of José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia, the perpetual dictator who ruled Paraguay for nearly three decades in the nineteenth century and who imposes his voice as the only truth, ordering all dissent silenced by any means. It combines the historical and the mythical to lay bare absolute power.
It belongs to the Trilogy on the Monotheism of Power (volume 2). It was originally published in 1974 and this edition includes a prologue by Carlos Fuentes.
For readers of historical fiction and Latin American narrative, as well as for those seeking a contemporary classic about power.
