University of São Paulo researcher Daniel Bonomo talks about Hermann Broch's book, The Death of Virgil, which is an allegory about the dramatic last 18 hours of the life of the Roman poet Publius Virgil Marão. Based on the theory that the poet wanted to burn his masterpiece, the Aeneid, shortly before he died, Broch recounts what went through Virgil's mind - and around him - during those hours, and how he was convinced by Emperor Octavian Augustus not to destroy the poem that narrates the rise and glory of Rome.
