Roman Blood de Steven Saylor

Roman Blood

Autor Steven Saylor Editat de Keith Kahla
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 apr 2008
In the unseasonable heat of a spring morning in 80 B.C., Gordianus the Finder is summoned to the house of Cicero, a young advocate staking his reputation on a case involving the savage murder of the wealthy, sybaritic Sextus Roscius. Charged with the murder is Sextus's son, greed being the apparent motive. The punishment, rooted deep in Roman tradition, is horrific beyond imagining.
The case becomes a political nightmare when Gordianus's investigation takes him through the city's raucous, pungent streets and deep into rural Umbria. Now, one man's fate may threaten the very leaders of Rome itself.

Recenzii

How wonderful, to have a scholar write about ancient Rome; how comforting, to feel instant confidence in the historical accuracy of a novel.
Saylor's scholarship is breathtaking, his writing enthrals.
Wonderfully clever.
Remarkable...as stirring blend of history and mystery, well-seasoned with conspiracy, passion and intrigue.
Gripping historical thrillers...Saylor's understanding of the rich complexity of Roman life has a universal appeal.
Really excellent...an enthralling recreation of time and place, fascinating storytelling.
Sweeping and marvellously evocative.
Remarkable...classical historical mystery, in every sense.

Notă biografică

Steven Saylor is the author of the internationally bestselling historical novels Roma and Empire (which precede Dominus), as well as the acclaimed Roma Sub Rosa series of historical mystery novels featuring Gordianus the Finder, beginning with Roman Blood. His fascination with the ancient world began in childhood when he saw the 1963 movie Cleopatra at a drive-in theater, and continued through his education in history and Classics at the University of Texas as Austin. His first trip to Rome was a life-changing event that propelled him into his 30-year career as a historical novelist. His work has been translated into more than 20 languages, and book tours have taken to many countries, including the U.K. He has appeared on the History channel as an expert on Roman politics and daily life. With Rick Solomon, his husband of 45 years, he divides his time between Berkeley, California and Austin, Texas.
