À propos de ce contenu audio
Before Superman soared through the skies, there was Hugo Danner.
In Gladiator, Philip Wylie introduces one of the earliest and most influential superhuman heroes in modern fiction. Born from a radical scientific experiment, Hugo Danner possesses extraordinary strength, speed, and invulnerability—powers far beyond those of ordinary men. But in a world unprepared for someone like him, Hugo’s greatest struggle is not against villains, but against isolation, fear, and the burden of being different.
Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, this groundbreaking novel explores the moral and emotional cost of power. As Hugo searches for meaning, love, and purpose, he must decide whether his abilities are a gift to uplift humanity—or a curse that forever separates him from it.
Both an action-driven adventure and a deeply human story, Gladiator is a thought-provoking classic that helped shape the superhero mythos as we know it today. Experience the novel that inspired generations of comic book legends—and discover the original superman.
