During the reign of Augustus, Publius Vergilius Maro, author of the Aeneid, arrives at the palace in his final hours. The narrative combines historical novel and prose poem to reflect on consciousness, death, and the dialogue between the ancient and the modern. Broch began writing the work during his internment in a concentration camp.
Original title: «Der Tod des Vergil» (1945). Edition from the Biblioteca 30 aniversario collection, with a prologue by Carlos García Gual and a version by J. M. Ripalda based on the translation by A. Gregori.
For readers of twentieth-century classics, German literature, and philosophically rooted narrative.
Hermann Broch was an Austrian writer, best known for two major works of modernist fiction: The Sleepwalkers and The Death of Virgil.
