'Los idus de enero' is the most recent historical novel written by the award-winning Spanish philologist, professor, and author Javier Negrete.
This historical work was published in 2023 by the Harper Collins Ibérica publishing house. Negrete, best-selling author of novels such as Odisea and El espartano, is not only a lover of classical literature and history but has also demonstrated a constant improvement as a chronicler. In Los idus de enero there is a mixture of his already well-achieved style with a fantastic narrative.
Historical novels—especially well-researched ones—tend to be in high demand by fans, since reading a book set in the real events of ancient times can be much more satisfying and educational than subjecting the reader to an intense history lesson. Perhaps that is why Javier Negrete has become such a popular author, given his exciting way of recounting events that were very important in the future of the West.
