By Juan Eslava Galán

Pocas civilizaciones son tan fascinantes como la romana, dos mil a os despu s el legado de Roma es la base de la cultura occidental.

Hay pocos temas hist ricos universales con tanto inter s bibliogr fico o cinematogr fico como la uni n de los pueblos it licos bajo la hegemon a del Imperio romano. Del mito fundacional de R mulo y Remo hasta la disoluci n del imperio, esta Historia de Roma contada para esc pticos re ne todos los ingredientes para convertirse en uno de los libros m s exitosos de Juan Eslava Gal n. Con la maestr a que le caracteriza, Eslava no se limita a la narraci n cronol gica de hechos hist ricos. Su objetivo es entretener, y para eso dota al relato de personajes ficticios que se mezclan con los emperadores, los soldados, las mujeres, los patricios y los gladiadores reales de la antigua Roma. Por supuesto, como marca de autor, no faltan los enredos de amor, las borracheras, y las motivaciones de poder o de sexo de unos personajes que, al final y por encima de todo, se mueven por pasiones humanas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Few civilizations are as fascinating as the Roman Empire. Even two thousand years later, Rome's legacy remains the foundation of Western culture.

There are few historical topics as universally compelling--both in literature and film--as the unification of the Italic peoples under Roman rule. From the founding myth of Romulus and Remus to the fall of the empire, Historia de Roma contada para esc pticos brings together all the elements that make it one of Juan Eslava Gal n's most successful books. With his signature mastery, Eslava goes beyond a simple chronological recounting of historical events. His goal is to entertain, and he does so by weaving fictional characters into the narrative alongside real emperors, soldiers, women, patricians, and gladiators of ancient Rome.

Of course, as is characteristic of the author, the book doesn't shy away from tales of romance, drunken escapades, and the relentless pursuit of power and desire--because, in the end, these characters, above all else, are driven by deeply human passions.
