Cayo Plinio Segundo fue un escritor romano del siglo I, conocido por el nombre de Plinio el Viejo para diferenciarlo de su sobrino e hijo adoptivo Plinio el Joven. Su obra más conocida, y la única que se conserva completa, es Naturalis Historiæ o Historia Natural.Plinio perteneció al orden ecuestre y ejerció distintos cargos militares y administrativos a lo largo de su vida, combinándolos con estudios e investigaciones de fenómenos naturales, etnográficos y geográficos, recopilados en su obra Historia natural, que posiblemente sea la primera enciclopedia que nos lega la antigüedad.La Historia Natural de Plinio nos ofrece una visión fascinante del mundo como lo veían los romanos hace 2000 años, cubriendo un vasto campo que abarca desde cosmología, geografía, zoología, botánica, medicina, mineralogía hasta diversas supersticiones de su tiempo, y mucho más, desarrollado en 37 libros, que en la traducción de Bostock y Riley ocupan unas 3000 páginas.Esta edición condensa esta obra maestra en un sólo volumen, que incluye todos los 37 libros de la obra original, añadiendo diversas ilustraciones.
