Book is fine. DJ has very light shelfwear. ; Romans do nothing by halves - nowhere is the espresso more bitter, the monuments as grandiose, the intrigue so ancient and the style as contrived. In this book, the author, a former correspondent, shows readers the true Rome and the true Romans. The book provides an evocative mixture of history, literature, and politics, including diarists and commentators to chronicle almost every generation of Roman hedonism and decay. Here is the Rome of the Popes, of a poet who loathed priests - Shelley, his wife and their son - in happiness and in tragedy. Here too are the city's intimitable railways, its innumerable cats. Sheridan the historian unravels the curious story of Mussloini's son-in-law and the British ambassador and as befits his period as a leading newspaper correspondent, new thoughts on Don Giulio Andreotti, seven times Prime Minister, as well as the Moro and Calvi affairs and other scandals. ; 202 pages

br. Fu davvero l'imperatore Nerone a incendiare Roma? Il filologo classico Carlo Pascal (1866-1926) lo mette in dubbio in questo intrigante e documentato libro che ha già fatto scandalo. Fuori dalle librerie da molti anni, questa edizione rende di nuovo disponibile un racconto denso di aneddoti e forte di prove. Con le cronache del tempo sotto mano, ecco emergere il profilo dei veri colpevoli: furono i cristiani gli attori della più grande e abominevole congiura incendiaria di tutti i tempi. Per gli appassionati della storia raccontata in presa diretta è un libro fondamentale, ma soprattutto godibile nel suo stile investigativo. Capace di penetrare i racconti e i luoghi comuni, Pascal mostra il potere di una vecchia scienza a torto considerata neutrale. La filologia può restituirci una storia che scende dal piedistallo per tornare viva e continuare ad appassionare.

ill., br. L'impero romano visse l'ultimo secolo della sua storia sull'orlo del caos, in una zona di confine tra una possibile convivenza pacifica e uno stato di costante conflitto con le diverse popolazioni barbare (...) è la complessità dello scenario a spingere il sistema sull'orlo del caos e, come accade per tutti i sistemi complessi, non era affatto prevedibile l'esito finale tra ordine e catastrofe.
