Jean Millington: Caesar's Wife, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Long has history been voiced and inked by those in power. More often than not, men in power. Ancient Rome, with its dictators and senators, mad philosophers and stoics, was no different.

The tallest and most decorated of mighty Rome's generals, Caesar, was felled to his knees by none other than his own. Only one person tried to rescue him from terrible Fate. Calpurnia, Caesar's wife at the time of his death, for so long relegated to the shadows, lives and breathes the events that lead to the Ides of March. Starting from that fateful day, when at seven years of age she spots the statesman at a funeral, Calpurnia loves and waits in the shadows, patient and faithful to her philandering husband.

This is the infamous tale of Caesar, relived and told by Calpurnia. But make no mistake, this is her story.
