I, the Supreme (orig.
 Spanish "Yo el supremo") is a historical novel written by exiled Paraguayan author Augusto Roa Bastos.
 It is a fictionalized account of the nineteenth-century Paraguayan dictator José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia, who was also known as "Dr. Francia."
 The book's title derives from the fact that Francia referred to himself as "El Supremo" or "the Supreme."
 The first in a long line of dictators, the Supreme was a severe, calculating despot.
 The central themes of the novel are power and language and the relation between the two.
 The Supreme believes himself to be above all power and history: "I don't write history.
 I make it.
 I can remake it as I please, adjusting, stressing, enriching its meaning and truth."
 Yet this assertion is constantly challenged by the very fact that while he achieves power by means of writing and dictating, these very same methods can be used by others to dispute his authority.
 Not even his own identity, represented by the personal pronoun "I", is safe and can easily be usurped as is demonstrated by the incident of the pasquinade.
 Language, as powerful as it is, can never be controlled and can just as easily be used as an instrument of coercion as an instrument of resistance.
