In 1991 Roa Bastos adapted Yo, el Supremo for the screen. The book's title derives from the fact that Francia referred to himself as "El Supremo" or "The Supreme. His first novel since Yo, el Supremo, Vigilia del admirante (1992; Vigil of the Admiral) was published in 1992, and El fiscal (1993; The Prosecutor) the following year. Although neither of his later novels had the impact of his earlier work, El fiscal is considered an important work. The first in a long line of dictators, The Supreme was a severe, calculating despot. He ruled absolutely from 1814 until his death in 1840, and is a unique figure in Latin American history.

Augusto Roa Bastos (1917-2005) is considered one of Parguay's greatest novelists

Augusto Roa Bastos (1917-2005) is considered one of Parguay's greatest novelists. He is best known for his novel "I the Supreme", but he wrotes many books of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. He spent much of his life outside of his home country, both as a foreign correspondent and in exile for his opposition to the ruling governments of his country. He also has El Supremo repeatedly point out that his rise to power was in fact confirmed by something that for that era could quite legitimately be considered the consent of the governed in a way that few other leaders were – again a sharp contrast with Stroessner, who came to power in a military coup.

Yo el Supremo è uno dei romanzi che meglio hanno definito i decenni durante i quali l’America Latina ha visto susseguirsi al potere dittatori e regimi militari. Argomento principale del romanzo è la ricerca del potere assoluto da parte di Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia, uno tra i dittatori più longevi della storia dell’America Latina, capo assoluto e indiscusso del Paraguay dal 1814 al 1840. L’analisi proposta vuole mettere in risalto le caratteristiche del romanzo nei suoi rapporti con la ricostruzione della storia e della memoria tanto paraguaiana come collettiva di tutta l’America Latina

To say that Roa Bastos is the paradigm of the Latin American writer in exile would be no exaggeration

To say that Roa Bastos is the paradigm of the Latin American writer in exile would be no exaggeration. After spending 25 years in Buenos Aires following an abortive conspiracy in the 1940s to overthrow a dictatorship, Roa accepted a teaching position at the Universite de Toulouse-Le Mirail, from which he is now retired.

Conversaciones o más bien monólogos interminables llenos de prepotencia, enajenación suposiciones y fantasías surrealistas que mantiene El Supremo con su secretario particular y brazo ejecutor Policarpo Patiño. Noches de insomnios y pesadillas en las que se dedica a diletar sobre la política paraguaya, el aislacionismo autárquico, de sus sueños de reestructuración social del país, de su paternalismo hacia las poblaciones indigenas guaraníes, la imposición de leyes, decretos arbitrarios y ejecuciones por el bien común, sus críticas a toda influencia e injerencia externa tanto europea como iberoamericana en los asuntos internos del país y de su desprecio hacia las libertades civiles de sus conciudadanos que eran visto por el como niños ignorantes y caprichosos merecedores de reprimendas y castigos justificados. Dictador absoluto, cruel y sanguinario hasta su muerte acaecida el 20 de Septiembre de 1840, no dejo de creer en ningún momento que sus decisiones siempre atinadas - según su criterio - iban siempre encaminadas a mejorar la sociedad y la patria sin importarle jamás la opinión de los demás.
Biografía, ensayo y novela histórica a la vez basada en la vida, obra, arbitrariedades y desmanes de Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia (1766-1840), hombre que rigió el destino de la República de Paraguay y de sus habitantes de forma dictatorial de 1816 a 1840 aislando al país del resto del mundo con mano dura y sin misericordia, indoctrinando a la población, reprimiendo a la oposición, deseando para si y su país un papel protagonico en el destino de Latinoamerica como buen megalómano que era. Narrativa con un lenguaje riquísimo casi enciclopédico lleno de rimas, juegos de palabras tomando algunas del castellano viejo, del lenguaje indígena guaraní y algunos paraguayismos, con el autor nos da un viaje didáctico sobre la historia del Paraguay desde su independencia hasta la muerte del dictador en 1840 sin omitir el destino incierto de sus restos. Es curioso que a medida que uno va leyendo esta obra sorprenderse a si mismo haciendo comparaciones de dictaduras y dictadores del siglo XX y actuales con el finado Rodríguez de Francia y recordar esa famosa frase, irónica pero muy actual de "los caminos al infierno están empedrados de buenas intenciones" y pensar de cuantos millones de personas han sido sacrificadas en el mundo en aras de una utopía, una ideología o simple capricho personal.

Unlike Roa Basto's HIJO DE HOMBRE in which he weaves an enchanting story about everyday Paraguayan life that was true in some parts, and other parts that could have been true, YO EL SUPREMO is based mostly upon the facts surrounding Jose Gaspar Rodriquez de Francia, Paraguay's first dictator, known as "El Supremo". "El Supremo" often stated and wrote, "all non contemporary history is suspect at best".

I suddenly met Roa Bastos at an unexpected clandestine discussion before I knew anything about him. After the meeting, I learned he was in exile and illegally entered the country to meet a grad student who had received a one-year scholarship to study him, Roa Bastos, and his works. Shortly before returning to the United States, like in so many of his novels, he suddenly appeared to talk with the grad student for the first time about his books and writing. He sincerely asked the grad student, "What questions do you have of me? I don't have much time here and must leave immediately!" The grad student was so surprised and taken aback by his sudden unannounced appearance that almost no questions came to mind. At the time, I didn't know him, or anything about him. Yet I remember his passion for researching the true history of this book's title. He said he was so involved in getting the correct information in the book that sometimes he felt he and "El Supremo" were the same.

Obviously, this fascinating book about the man who so loved the common Paraguayan people and despised and feared them at the same time provides incredible historical insights. Yet the book is tough reading! Whoa, encyclopedias often seem more prosaic! Sometimes the book's historical dryness and minutia leaves one thirsty for a glass of water, or beer, or three. Yet plowing through those tough parts also reveals gems of insight into the man that shaped Paraguay's future. "El Supremo" was so fearful of outside influence, and trade that might leave the country in debt, those entering the country were prohibited from leaving! He ensured foreigners were treated well, mostly, until they tried to leave upon which he would imprison them. Yet when the American Ambassador/Consul was refused exit of the country a U.S. battle ship was sent up river to Paraguay to gain his release. The battleship was also initially held hostage and only after firing its largest gun was the American's release granted. Foreigners, especially Spanish, were prohibited from marrying those of the same background to avoid the development of a special class of citizens. The church was held under his thumb and he was excommunicated by the Pope for that.

If you want incredible insight into Paraguayan history, and the background and life of the person who declared himself "Perpetual Dictator", this book is for you. If you want an entertaining book on Paraguay's people and culture,
read HIJO DE HOMBRE de Roa Bastos.

Bedy

This novel is one of the masterpieces of Latin American narrative, and it is probably the best representative of the sub-genre that has been named "novela del dictador," short of dictator novel, novels whose protagonist are Latin American dictators, real or imaginary. In this particular case, the novel is based on Dr. Francia, the ruler of Paraguay during the first half of the 19th century, a controversial figure who did good things for the country, but was known to be cruel as well. You will need time and patience to read this novel, though: it is complex and not easy reading, but it is worthy every word!

Fecage

From the begining to the end you can feel latin american's scents. The writer can mix history and fiction magnificently

Snoringly informative. You need decimal ratings for things that don't deserve more than one hundredth of a star.
