«Los idus de marzo» is the historical novel by Thornton Wilder, published by Edhasa in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
The novel reconstructs the months leading up to Julius Caesar's death through a fiction that alternates letters, diaries and pamphlets attributed to Caesar, his associates and his enemies. It portrays a self-absorbed but well-intentioned Caesar, blinded by power, and turns the historical episode into a critique of totalitarian regimes.
The work was originally published in 1948 as The Ides of March; this Spanish edition, translated by María Lejárraga, belongs to the Pocket collection.
For readers of historical fiction and 20th-century classics interested in ancient Rome.
Thornton Niven Wilder was an American playwright and novelist. He won three Pulitzer Prizes, for the novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey and for the plays Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth, and a U.S. National Book Award for the novel The Eighth Day.
