8vo, hardcover i dj, In Mortal Republic, prize-winning historian Edward J. Watts offers a new history of the fall of the Roman Republic that explains why Rome exchanged freedom for autocracy. For centuries, even as Rome grew into the Mediterranean's premier military and political power, its governing institutions, parliamentary rules, and political customs successfully fostered negotiation and compromise. By the 130s BC, however, Rome's leaders increasingly used these same tools to cynically pursue individual gain and obstruct their opponents. As the center decayed and dysfunction grew, arguments between politicians gave way to political violence in the streets. The stage was set for destructive civil wars--and ultimately the imperial reign of Augustus. The death of Rome's Republic was not inevitable. In Mortal Republic, Watts shows it died because it was allowed to, from thousands of small wounds inflicted by Romans who assumed that it would last forever.

Stato di conservazione: OTTIMO. I edizione. Traduzione di Attilio Veraldi. La giovinezza e l’irresistibile ascesa del dittatore romano ripercorsa dallo stesso Cesare alla vigilia delle idi di marzo, scritta dal grande romanziere e studioso inglese Rex Warner. Uno straordinario romanzo storico che ripercorre in forma di falso memoir la vita del condottiero romano, negli anni tumultuosi e violenti della fine della repubblica, per interrompersi appena prima del passaggio del Rubicone e della successiva conquista del potere assoluto. Attraverso lo sguardo freddo e misurato di un Cesare ormai maturo, l’autore ricostruisce in modo vivido ed efficace il mondo dell’antica Roma e dei suoi principali protagonisti: Pompeo, Cicerone, Catone, Bruto rivivono attraverso le parole del loro mentore, amico o nemico Cesare. Servendosi della voce del suo protagonista, Rex Warner tesse con maestria una tela che riproduce con esattezza storica e affascinante capacità narrativa l’evoluzione del sistema di potere romano, la lotta per la sua conquista, il conflitto tra senatori conservatori ed eroi della repubblica e, non ultimo, scava nella psicologia complessa di uno dei grandi protagonisti della storia romana in un classico senza tempo.
