Description:
Imperium
Ancient Rome - 'a city of glory built on a river of filth' teems with ambitious 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 for ever.
Robert Harris's epic account of the timeless struggle for power and the sudden disintegration of a society has been internationally acclaimed for its storytelling power
and historical accuracy.
Lustrum
Rome, 63 Bc. Seven men are struggling for power: Cicero the consul, Caesar his ruthless rival, Pompey the republic's greatest general, Crassus its richest man, Cato a political fanatic, Catilina a psychopath, Clodius an ambitious playboy.
The stories of these real historical figures - their alliances and betrayals, their cruelties and seductions, their brilliance and crimes are all interleaved to form this epic novel. lts narrator is Tiro, confidential secretary to the wily, humane, complex Cicero. He knows all his master's secrets a dangerous position to be in.
From the discovery of a child's mutilated body, through judicial execution and a scandalous trial, to the brutal unleashing of the Roman mob, Lustrum is a study in the timeless enticements and horrors of power.
Dictator
There was a time when Cicero held Caesar's life in the palm of his hand. But now Caesar is the dominant figure and Cicero's life is in ruins. Cicero's comeback requires wit, skill and courage. And for a brief and glorious period, the legendary orator is once more the supreme senator in Rome. But politics is never static. And no statesman, however cunning, can safeguard against the ambition and corruption of others.
