Holland es doctor en Historia Antigua por la universidad de Oxford. Pero en los círculos editoriales es mucho más conocido por su curriculum como novelista (Banquete de sangre, El señor de los muertos, El Sueño de Tutankamón…) que por su trayectoria científica o divulgativa. Es lógico, porque el hambre agudiza el ingenio. Y en este caso, a tenor del resultado, además de lógico es deseable, porque en Rubicón, Holland logra unir a sus profundos conocimientos su pericia como narrador, obteniendo como síntesis una obra deliciosa, amenísima, vibrante y enormemente satisfactoria para el intelecto. Aunque Rubicón abarca cronológicamente gran parte de la Historia de la República de Roma, centra su atención en el periodo conocido por la Historiografía como Crisis de la República (entre la época de los Graco y la proclamación del Principado de Augusto) y, especialmente, en los últimos 40 años del régimen republicano, un periodo bastante conocido por el gran público y de profusa y casi inagotable bibliografía. Sin embargo, la obra de Holland resulta novedosa y refrescante por el tratamiento empleado. Sobre la narración cronológica de los hechos (el verdadero leit motiv de Rubicón, cuyo desarrollo alcanza tal intensidad dramática que a veces parece una novela) introduce frecuentes cuñas aclaratorias respecto a las instituciones republicanas, la vida cotidiana, la evolución económica, las costumbres populares, la organización social, la religión… Y todo ello imbricado tan íntimamente con el hilo conductor de la obra que apenas se advierte su presencia. Pero, además, Holland no se priva de introducir, algo más que esporádicamente, sus opiniones personales e incluso sus más que particulares interpretaciones de la Historia. En ello radica, a nuestro juicio, gran parte del atractivo de la obra y, paradójicamente, su mayor defecto. Porque es de agradecer, por un lado, la valentía que Holland demuestra al formular sin tapujos sugerentes hipótesis y refrescantes interpretaciones, utilizando para ello equivalencias con el mundo actual o con etapas históricas relativamente recientes de gran utilidad didáctica.<

SUMMARY: With Conan the Cimmerian, Robert E. Howard created more than the greatest action hero of the twentieth century—he also launched a genre that came to be known as sword and sorcery. But Conan wasn’t the first archetypal adventurer to spring from Howard’s fertile imagination. “He was . . . a strange blending of Puritan and Cavalier, with a touch of the ancient philosopher, and more than a touch of the pagan. . . . A hunger in his soul drove him on and on, an urge to right all wrongs, protect all weaker things. . . . Wayward and restless as the wind, he was consistent in only one respect—he was true to his ideals of justice and right. Such was Solomon Kane.”Collected in this volume, lavishly illustrated by award-winning artist Gary Gianni, are all of the stories and poems that make up the thrilling saga of the dour and deadly Puritan, Solomon Kane. Together they constitute a sprawling epic of weird fantasy adventure that stretches from sixteenth-century England to remote African jungles where no white man has set foot. Here are shudder-inducing tales of vengeful ghosts and bloodthirsty demons, of dark sorceries wielded by evil men and women, all opposed by a grim avenger armed with a fanatic’s faith and a warrior’s savage heart.This edition also features exclusive story fragments, a biography of Howard by scholar Rusty Burke, and “In Memoriam,” H. P. Lovecraft’s moving tribute to his friend and fellow literary genius.<
