Key item features
Una vuelta de tuerca a la novela de romanos protagonizada por un voluble general de la legión que cree haber revolucionado el teatro con la escritura de una tragedia autobiográfica.
Fabius Exelsus Fulgentius sigue siendo, a sus sesenta y siete años, un general irremplazable para las campañas de expansión del Imperio romano. El breve descanso para el aprovisionamiento que ha hecho en Vindobona, junto a sus seis mil legionarios, se ha demorado un poco más de lo previsto: Fulgentius ha aprovechado para poner en pie, con la ayuda del coro local de actores, una tragedia autobiográfica que él mismo ha escrito y que es única en su género. Ésta será la primera parada de un largo viaje hacia la pacificación a golpe de lanza de la agreste Panonia, una campaña plagada de batallas e incursiones, pero también de ensayos interminables y castings a recios guerreros para el papel protagonista femenino. Y todo ello para que la gran obra de Fulgentius tome derroteros imprevistos para el único placer y beneficio de su autor.
Fulgentius es una nueva incursión de César Aira en la novela histórica, ambientada esta vez en la época dorada del Imperio romano, a través de la mirada soberbia, voluble, megalómana y a la vez ingenua, de un general con aspiraciones creativas. César Aira hace acopio de una finísima ironía para reflexionar sobre la vanidad y la belleza artística en un mundo bárbaro y sin sentido.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A twist to the well-known Roman novels starring a general who believes he has revolutionized the theater scene by writing an autobiographical tragedy.
Fabius Exelsus Fulgentius at age sixty-seven, is still an irreplaceable general for the Roman Empire's expansion campaigns. But a short break in Vindobona will take a little longer than expected, and Fulgentius has taken this opportunity of down time to set up, with the help of a local troop of actors, an autobiographical tragedy that he wrote himself and that is unique in its kind. This will be the first stop of a long journey towards the pacification of a wild Panonia, a campaign full of battles, but at the same time full of endless rehearsals and castings of strong buffed male warriors for the leading female role. And all this just so that Fulgentius' great work can take unexpected paths for the sole pleasure and benefit of its author.
Fulgentius is Cesar Aira's new incursion into the historical novel, this time set in the Roman Empire's golden age, through an arrogant, voluble, megalomaniac, and at the same time naïve, look of a general with creative aspirations. Cesar Aira with fine irony reflects on vanity and artistic beauty in a barbaric and meaningless world.
