Rome is me. The True Story of Julius Caesar
14.99 €
Sometimes one person changes the course of history, becomes a legend during his lifetime, and after his death - an unattainable role model. Sometimes truly epic characters are born, and one of them is Julius Caesar, a multifaceted and complex figure, a defender of the people and a fighter with the elites, who turned into a dictator and for his desire for power paid with his life. However, in 77 BC Rome does not yet know how important this young man will be for the state. And unprincipled and cruel Senator Dolabella, former governor of Macedonia, preparing to appear before the court, is not the least bit nervous: it would seem that inexperienced twenty-three-year-old prosecutor named Gaius Julius Caesar does not pose the slightest threat ... Santiago Posteguillo, philologist and linguist, meticulous researcher and energetic storyteller, author of historical bestsellers on the history of ancient Rome, has been preparing all his life to write a series on Julius Caesar. "It seemed to me, the right to write about him I must earn," he says. "Rome is me", a forensic thriller that would have pleased John Grisham, and a colorful mural in the best traditions of the genre of the historical novel, is the first book of the cycle, and it deals with a little-known episode of Caesar's biography. Here Caesar, still a young man, suffers defeats - and still comes out victorious, for the first time achieving the recognition of the masses. Here again, battles won two thousand years ago are simmering and orators come to life, competing in the eloquence we still learn from today. Here the hearts of the people whose biographies are studied by schoolchildren and academics are again full of tenderness and passion, and the lives of those who fight for justice are again, as they have been for centuries, threatened.
