The French Bookshop :: Histoire & Documents :: Romans Historiques :: Harris Robert : Imperium (English/Occasion)

Ancient Rome, ?a city of glory built on a river of filth?, teems with ambitions and ruthless men. None is more brilliant than Marcus Cicero. A rising young lawyer, backed by a shrewd wife, he decides to gamble everything on one of the most dramatic courtroom battles of all time. Win it, and he could win control of Rome itself; lose it, and he is finished forever.. 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 millennium ago. (Observer) Entertaining and enlightening. Harris? description of Rome?s labyrinthine and sometimes deadly political scene is fascinating and instructive. The action is relentless. (Publishers Weekly) Robert Harris? majestic Imperium impresses hugely : gripping, clever and sharply written. (Evening Standard)
