«El conde Belisario» is the historical novel by Robert Graves, published by Planeta DeAgostini in hardcover (447 pages, in Spanish).
Set in the sixth century, it narrates the life of Belisarius, general of the Byzantine Empire under Justinian I. The work combines his campaigns to reconquer the ancient Western Roman Empire with the intrigues of the court of Constantinople, where his loyalty clashes with the emperor's envy and suspicion.
Published in Barcelona in 2000, with a translation by Arturo Casals from the English original «Count Belisarius».
For readers of historical fiction and enthusiasts of the Byzantine period and biographies of its great figures.
Robert Ranke Graves, whose second name is sometimes given as von Ranke, was an English poet, novelist and critic. His father was Alfred Perceval Graves, a celebrated Irish poet and figure in the Gaelic revival; they were both Celticists and students of Irish mythology.
