Yo el Supremo

Synopsis of Yo el Supremo

A new, commemorative edition by the Spanish Royal Academy and the Association of Spanish Language Academies of one of the most important works of literature in contemporary Spanish language. In 2004 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Don Quixote’s first publication, the RAE and the AALE began a unique project of reediting great pieces of Spanish language literature.

These works are published and distributed throughout the Spanish-speaking world. I the Supreme by Augusto Roa Bastos now joins this great collection that already includes Borges esencial/Essential Borges; Rubén Darío. Del símbolo a la realidad/ Rubén Darío, From the Symbol to Reality. Selected Works; Don Quijote de la Macha/ Don Quixote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes, reedited in 2015 to celebrate Cervantes’ 400th birthday; Cien años de soledad/One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez; La región más transparente/Where the Air Is Clear by Carlos Fuentes; Antología general/ Neruda’s Comprehensive Anthology by Pablo Neruda; Gabriela Mistral en verso y prosa/In Verse and Prose: An Anthology; La ciudad y los perros/The Time of the Hero by Mario Vargas Llosa; and La colmena/The Hive by Camilo José Cela.
