Imperium

(Cicero Trilogy 1)

av Robert Harris
Häftad,  Engelska, 2004-09-01

Slutsåld

When Tiro, the confidential secretary of a Roman senator, opens the door to a terrified stranger on a cold November morning, he sets in motion a chain of events which will eventually propel his master into one of the most famous courtroom dramas in history. The stranger is a Sicilian, a victim of the island's corrupt Roman governor, Verres. The senator is Cicero, a brilliant young lawyer and spellbinding orator, determined to attain imperium - supreme power in the state. This is the starting-point of Robert Harris's most accomplished novel to date. Compellingly written in Tiro's voice, it takes us inside the violent, treacherous world of Roman politics, to describe how one man - clever, compassionate, devious, vulnerable - fought to reach the top.

Recensioner i media

"Harris's best so far, rapid and compelling in narrative, copious in detail, thoroughly researched but also, which is more important, thoroughly imagined... Irresistible" -- Allan Massie * Sunday Telegraph * "In Harris's hands, the great game becomes a beautiful one" * The Times * "Genres ancient and modern have rarely been so skilfully synthesised... Gripping and accomplished" -- Tom Holland * The Guardian * "A joy to read in every way, and as a mirror to the politics of our present age has no equal" * The Independent * "Harris deploys the devices of the thriller writer to trace the perils and triumphs of Cicero's ascent ... A finely accomplished recreation of the power struggles of more than two millenniums ago" * The Observer *
