«Las memorias de Adriano» is the historical novel by Marguerite Yourcenar, published by Planeta in paperback, with 366 pages, in Spanish.
The work is structured as a letter that Emperor Hadrian writes to Marcus Aurelius, his successor, to review his career: military victories, a fondness for poetry and music, philosophical reflection, and love for Antinous. The protagonist's gaze turns the narrative into a classic of twentieth-century historical fiction.
Originally published in French as Mémoires d'Hadrien in 1951. This Spanish edition contains a translation by Julio Cortázar.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and for those interested in Roman antiquity and twentieth-century literary classics.
