""Caesar or Nothing"" is a novel written by Pio Baroja, a prominent Spanish author. The book is set in the early 20th century and follows the story of the protagonist, Julius Caesar, who is a young man living in Madrid. Caesar is an ambitious and determined individual who is obsessed with power and success. He is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, even if it means betraying those closest to him.Throughout the novel, Caesar faces various challenges and obstacles, including financial difficulties, romantic entanglements, and political conflicts. He becomes involved with a group of anarchists, who he initially sees as a means to an end but eventually realizes the dangers of their ideology.As Caesar's obsession with power grows, he becomes increasingly isolated and paranoid. He begins to see enemies everywhere and becomes convinced that he must take drastic measures to protect himself and his interests.The novel is a complex exploration of the themes of power, ambition, and betrayal. It offers a nuanced portrayal of the consequences of unchecked ambition and the dangers of pursuing power at any cost. Despite its historical setting, the novel remains relevant today, as it offers a cautionary tale about the dangers of political extremism and the importance of maintaining ethical standards in the pursuit of power.His negation had no reference, --far from it, --to women, to love, or to friends, things where the pedantic and ostentatious scepticism of literary men of the Larra type usually finds its fodder; his nihilism was much more the confusion and discomposure of one that explores a region well or badly, and finds no landmarks there, no paths, and returns with a belief that even the compass is not exact in what it shows.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
