As the preface says: "Caesar wrote for snobs choosy literary forms, writing for the ordinary citizen and an admirable journalistic sense. So much so, that he did in the third person as if he were merely a war correspondent who analyzes the events from a certain intellectual distance, instead of being the center and the protagonist of the story. That is why we have tried to bring the writings of Caesar to the current language, so faithful to the original, giving life to the stone of the characters and places where actions are developed, so that a stop be mummified and others become recognizable for our understanding today. To achieve this, as if cleaning the canvas of an old painting it were, we have been carefully peeling away the layers and the time-not always afortunadas- translations have been submerging the original writing. After this cleansing emerges with full force, color and clarity, narrative portentous Caesar ".
