Description
xDiscover the runaway #1 international bestseller that has captured readers the world over―and reminds us all why we remember the name Julius Caesar. "Posteguillo shows just how thrilling a historical novel can be."―El Pa﨎 Every legend has a beginning . . .
Rome, 77 B.C. The corrupt Senator Dolabella is about to go on trial for his crimes. But Dolabella owns the jury. He's hired the best lawyers in the city. And he's very willing to use violence against those who oppose him. In all of Rome, no man dares accept the role of prosecutor--until, against all odds, an unknown twenty-three-year-old steps out to lead the case, defend the people of the city, and defy the power of the ruling elite. That lawyer's name is Gaius Julius Caesar. So begins Santiago Posteguillo's acclaimed masterpiece of historical fiction―a tale as epic as Caesar's life itself. An irresistible page-turning novel of politics and betrayal, grand battles and impossible odds, shocking villainy and even greater acts of courage, I Am Rome brilliantly animates the moments that shaped this extraordinary young man's fate--and in so doing, changed the course of history itself.
