Recenzii

Engrossing and exciting.
In the international bestseller Roma, Steven Saylor told the story of the first thousand years of Rome by following the descendants of a single bloodline. Now, in Empire, Saylor charts the destinies of five more generations of the Pinarius family, from the reign of the first emperor, Augustus, to the glorious height of Rome's empire under Hadrian.


Through the eyes of the Pinarii, we witness the machinations of Tiberius, the madness of Caligula, the cruel escapades of Nero, and the chaos of the Year of Four Emperors in 69 A.D. The deadly paranoia of Domitian is followed by the Golden Age of Trajan and Hadrian - but even the most enlightened emperors wield the power to inflict death and destruction on a whim.


Praise for Steven Saylor:
'Saylor expertly weaves the true history of Rome with the lives and loves of its fictional citizens.' Daily Express


'Saylor's scholarship is breathtaking and his writing enthrals' Ruth Rendell


'With the scalpel-like deftness of a Hollywood director, Saylor puts his finger on the very essence of Roman history.' Times Literary Supplement


'Readers will find his work wonderfully (and gracefully) researched... this is entertainment of the first order.' Washington Post
