I, Julius Caesar (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Few people who have ever lived have made a bigger mark on history. And few have lived such an adventurous life. That destiny-of a sickly orphan boy who would climb to the top of the Roman Empire-belongs to Julius Caesar. And he himself relates it here, from cradle to grave.

Thanks to extraordinarily intensive research that made it possible to re-create every stage of Caesar's life, this graphic history reads like an autobiography. In it, Julius Caesar shares, in his own words, his humiliations and his victories, his boldest moves and his moments of madness. How could he have defeated all his enemies and been assassinated by his friends? Although he was intransigent both on the battlefield and in the political arena, we see how he was capable of unexpected leniency and could be a bashful lover. Here is the flesh-and-blood human being, as told by the Julius behind the Caesar, the man behind the myth.

Prize-winning journalist and author Alfred de Montesquiou interviewed some of the world's most eminent Julius Caesar specialists. Those 32 historians, many of whom specialize in a different period in Caesar's life, made it possible for de Montesquiou to pull off a stupendous feat-to write this graphic history based exclusively on documented facts.
