Magnífica recreación histórica de uno de los personajes más fascinantes de la historia de Roma, y de su vinculación con las oscuras maquinaciones que determinaron el fin de la República. El joven Cicerón es un idealista, partidario de Pompeyo, pero sus enemigos le impiden acceder al codiciado título que otorga poder absoluto, el de Imperium. Si quiere ascender políticamente tendrá que pactar con los aristócratas y así destruir a sus rivales.
In his new novel, “Imperium,” the British author Robert Harris fictionalizes Cicero’s less-known early career as a young lawyer on the make. He paints an engrossing picture of the caldron of Roman politics and presents a Cicero for our own times, a man who is the lineal ancestor of the modern career politician. The result is an experiment as bold as it is unexpected: a novel that draws so scrupulously on the Roman source material that it forgoes much of what are traditionally regarded as the prime features of the thriller. Although there is detective work, there is no detective; although there are twists and turns, there is rarely any artificial ratcheting up of suspense. Instead, Harris trusts to the rhythm of the republic's politics to generate his trademark readability, a rhythm that the Romans themselves enshrined in their literature as something relentlessly exciting: in short, a thriller. Genres ancient and modern have rarely been so skilfully synthesised. Distinciones
A tale inspired by the writings of Tiro, Cicero's confidential secretary, traces the life of the ancient Roman orator from his beginnings as a young lawyer through his competitions with Pompey, Caesar, and Crassus in the political arena. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
