Summary
Harald Voetmann: Budan
The novel Budan by the young Danish writer Harald Voetmann (born in 1978) uses an innovative narrative form to delve into the life and thoughts of the Roman scientist Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD), who devoted his life to the study of geography, biology, medicine, art, etc. and lost it during the eruption of Vesuvius, which he also wanted to investigate and describe. His only surviving work, the monumental Naturalis historia, testifies to the human aspiration to penetrate the secrets of our marvelous and brutal cosmos, to master nature and to name everything. Voetmann revives Pliny's restless passion, poetic and harsh nature with the help of his nephew Pliny the Younger (61-112 AD), a Roman lawyer, governor in Asia Minor and an excellent epistolographer. But the Rome of that era itself, with its gladiators, morbid customs, rumors, is entertainingly and expertly evoked (Voetmann is a classical philologist by training).
