Style and Technique

Eduardo Mendoza's novel «The Amazing Journey of Pomponius Flatus» is written in the genre of historical-detective comedy. The author's style is characterized by lightness and irony, which gives the narrative a special liveliness and appeal. Mendoza masterfully uses humor, satire, and parody to create the atmosphere of the ancient world with its quirks and absurdities. The language of the work is rich and varied, with elements of archaism that help convey the spirit of the time. Literary techniques include the use of allusions to historical events and figures, as well as playing with the clichés of detective and adventure novels. The story structure is linear, with a clear plot development where the main character, Roman philosopher Pomponius Flatus, investigates a mysterious murder. The narrative is in the first person, allowing a deeper immersion into the thoughts and experiences of the protagonist.
