«Ciprianus, gladiador romanus» is the children's humor novel by Juan Muñoz, published by Bruño in paperback (200 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the 1st century BC, the story starts from a real episode in the lives of Caligula and Claudius and combines it with the absurd pursuit of Ciprianus, a Roman gladiator. When the gladiator's life is in danger, the author himself enters the narrative to ask Claudius for help, in a metafictional game that almost seems like a movie script.
The 2008 edition belongs to the Altamar collection from Bruño; the illustrations are by Gustavo A. Otero.
Suitable for young readers aged 10 and up; a humorous read aimed at awakening the reading habit.
Spanish humorist and television presenter
