About the Book

La obra maestra de la novela histórica

A finales del siglo III a. C., Roma se encontraba al borde de la destrucción total, a punto de ser aniquilada por los ejércitos cartagineses al mando de uno de los mejores estrategas militares de todos los tiempos: Aníbal. Su alianza con Filipo V de Macedonia, que pretendía la aniquilación de Roma como Estado y el reparto del mundo conocido entre las potencias de Cartago y Macedonia, constituía una fuerza imparable que, de haber conseguido sus objetivos, habría determinado para siempre el devenir de Occidente.

Pero el azar y la fortuna intervinieron para que las cosas fueran de otro modo. Pocos años antes del estallido del más cruento conflicto bélico que se hubiera vivido en Roma, nació un niño que estaba destinado a cambiar el curso de la Historia: Publio Cornelio Escipión, a quien se conocerá como Africanus.

Basada en la novela homónima de Santiago Posteguillo, Iván García y Daniel Domínguez -a cargo de la ilustración y de la adaptación del guion, respectivamente- reelaboran en estas páginas la aventura de infancia y juventud de uno de los personajes más influyentes de la Historia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The masterpiece of the historical novel.

At the end of the third century B.C., Rome was at the brink of complete obliteration by the Carthaginian armies, commanded by one of the best military strategists of all times: Hannibal. His alliance with Philip V of Macedonia--who sought to dismantle Rome as an Estate and distribute the known world between the powers of Carthage and Macedonia--constituted an unstoppable force that, had it achieved its objective, would have forever changed the future of the Western World.

But fate and fortune intervened so it would be otherwise. A few years before the outbreak of the bloodiest armed conflict Rome had ever seen, a boy destined to change the course of History was born: Publius Cornelius Scipio, who would later be known as Africanus.

Based on Santiago Posteguillo's homonymous novel, Iván García and Daniel Domínguez--respectively in charge of illustrating and adapting the script--recreate in these pages the early life of one of the most influential figures in history.
