{"product_id":"i-julius-caesar-alfred-de-montesquiou-9798893031126","title":"I, Julius Caesar: A Graphic History of an Extraordinary Destiny","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Thanks to extraordinarily intensive research that made it possible to re-create every stage of Caesar's life, this graphic novel 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrize-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 256-page graphic novel based exclusively on known historical facts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the book's back matter, readers will find the sources for every page, whether that source is text by Caesar himself, his contemporaries, or drawn from more recent research. Over three hundred endnotes complete this graphic novel making \u003cem\u003eI, Julius Caesar\u003c\/em\u003e as accurate as possible to what is known about him. Research was carried out over years and three continents, in sixteen countries, in the very places where Julius Caesar achieved his feats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alfred de Montesquiou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798893031126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Experiment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Alfred de Montesquiou","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425636106495,"sku":"9798893031126","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dcbe717e-7be1-458d-b7b4-1847d19c6a93.jpg?v=1761540578","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-julius-caesar-alfred-de-montesquiou-9798893031126","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
