«Espartaco: la rebelión de los gladiadores» is the historical novel by Arthur Koestler, published by Editorial Edhasa in paperback (342 pages, in Spanish).
Set in ancient Rome, the novel recreates the historical figure of Spartacus and the rebellion of gladiators and slaves against Roman power. Arthur Koestler draws on the scant testimonies of Livy and Plutarch to explore the reasons for the revolt's failure in a tale of strong dramatic tension and emotional weight.
Originally published as The Gladiators in 1939, this Spanish edition appeared in 1992.
For readers of historical fiction who want to approach the figure of Spartacus and ancient Rome.
Arthur Koestler was an Austro-Hungarian-born author and journalist. Koestler was born in Budapest, and was educated in Austria, apart from his early school years. In 1931, Koestler joined the Communist Party of Germany but resigned in 1938 after becoming disillusioned with Stalinism.
