«El conde Belisario» is the historical novel by Robert Graves, published by Salvat Editores in hardcover (349 pages, in Spanish).
In the sixth century, the Eastern Roman Empire lives through turbulent times: Emperor Justinian faces barbarian attacks, revolts in Constantinople, court conspiracies and religious conflicts. Belisarius, a general of exceptional valor and nobility, becomes the empire's hope and leads the Byzantine troops to triumph over their enemies in Africa, Italy and Spain.
The 1994 Salvat edition belongs to the Novela Histórica collection (number 8). The novel, from 1938 and translated by Arturo Casais, won the Prix Femina-Vie Heureuse in 1939.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction interested in the Byzantine Empire and in fictionalized biographies of great strategists.
