El Premio Internacional de Novela Rómulo Gallegos 2015 y uno de los titanes de la literatura colombiana nos deleita con una novela sobre Marco Aurelio y sus Meditaciones.

«En esta extraordinaria novela, Pablo Montoya nos ofrece una evocación que conjuga de manera vivaz y dramática lo novelesco con los datos del pasado y una admiración luminosa hacia este inolvidable personaje histórico». -Carlos García Gual

Cuarteles de invierno cerca de Sirmio, en la actual Serbia, siglo II. La peste, que llegó a Roma, continúa menguando a la población y al ejército, las invasiones bárbaras no han dado tregua, el ascenso del cristianismo agita las bases del imperio, y las sublevaciones y los rumores de las infidelidades de su esposa llegan a Marco Aurelio con inquina. El emperador, que lidió con grandeza tanto la guerra como los desafíos cotidianos de la familia y el amor, asumiendo el liderazgo bajo el modelo del romano ideal y a la vez como casi ningún hombre de su tiempo, reflexiona sobre su vida, la muerte y los límites del poder en esta magistral novela.

Con la avezada pluma que lo caracteriza, Pablo Montoya hace gala de un agudo rigor histórico que presenta a los lectores un impactante fresco de la Roma imperial y una mirada única a un hombre que marcó la historia con su lucidez, coraje y humanidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

2015 Rómulo Gallegos International Novel Prize winner and one of the titans in Colombian literature delights us with a novel about Marcus Aurelius and his Meditations.

"In this extraordinary novel, Pablo Montoya offers an evocation that conjugates, in a vivacious and dramatic way, the literary with historical information and a luminous admiration for this unforgettable historical figure." --Carlos García Gual

Winter quarters near Sirmium, now Serbia, second century. The plage, that has reached Rome, keeps waning the population and the army; barbarian invasions have not ceased; Christianity's ascent shakes the foundations of the empire, and the uprisings and the rumors of his wife's infidelity reach Marcus Aurelius with malice. The emperor, who dealt masterfully with war and everyday challenges of family and love, assuming leadership under the model of the ideal Roman and at the same time as a man like almost no other then, reflects on his life, death, and the limits of power in this exceptional novel.

With his characteristically expert hand, Pablo Montoya flaunts an acute historical rigor that offers readers a shocking fresco of imperial Rome and a unique insight into a man that left a mark in history with his lucidity, courage, and humanity.

Great set of stories that ties in many of your favorite charecters
Format: Paperback
A simple yet great set of stories that tie in many of your favorite characters into the Galaxy's Edge/Baatu environment. I am not a huge comic reader, but I did very much enjoy. It is a quick read overall.

Nice backstory to Galaxy's Edge

This is a cool book. Just visited Galaxy's Edge recently, so it's fun to see the park and characters represented in comic form.

Great follow up to Empire Strikes Back
Format: Paperback
This series follows the events after Empire Strikes Back and I think it did a great job understanding the kind of realistic struggles the characters went through before Return of the Jedi. From Luke struggling to accept that Vader is his father, to Leia being heartbroken that Han Solo is frozen in carbonite. It was all very entertaining and I of course love the connectivity to other Star Wars stories as well. Great read.

Comic Book to help introduce Star Wars
Format: Paperback
Read this with my 6 yo son. He loved the art, loved the story, didn’t want to put it down. I felt like he was really engaged in this story because of the visuals. He wanted to know more about each character as they were introduced.
