$10.32

Última novela de la «Trilogía Africanus», en la que descubriremos el épico final de dos de los personajes más legendarios de la historia: Escipión y Aníbal. «He sido el hombre más poderoso del mundo, pero también el más traicionado.» Así comienza Publio Cornelio Escisión sus memorias en La traición de Roma, para continuar con el final de dos de los más épicos personajes de la historia, Escisión y Aníbal. Los eternos enemigos se encuentran una vez más en la batalla de Magnesia, un episodio casi desconocido dela historia de occidente. Pero además de batallas, el autor nos cuenta lo que ha sido de los hijos de Escisión; de sus enemigos, Marco Porcio Catón y de su aliado Graco; de la esclava Netikerty; de la prostituta Areté; de su fiel aliado Ledio; de Antíoco III, el rey de Siria; del ya anciano dramaturgo Plauto, que se pasea por las calles de Roma, y también de la mujer de Escisión, Emilia Tercia, digna hasta el final en medio de la mayor de las hecatombes públicas y privadas. Con la electrizante prosa que lo caracteriza, Posteguillo nos transporta de nuevo a la antigua Roma para ser testigos privilegiados del ocaso de una vida tan intensa como desbordante: el final de la epopeya de Publio Cornelio Escisión y de todo su mundo en el marco incomparable de una Roma que emerge victoriosa, por encima de la historia, sin importarle arrasar en su imparable ascenso todo y a todos, incluidos a sus héroes. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In this last installment of Posteguillo’s «Rome Trilogy,» we discover the epic ending of two of the most legendary characters in history: Scipio Africanus and Hannibal. The trilogy now continues putting an end to two of the most epic characters in history, Scipio Africanus and Hannibal. These eternal enemies meet once again in the Battle of Magnesia, an almost unknown episode in the West’s history. But in addition to the battles, the author also tells us what has happened to Scipio Africanus’ children, his enemy, Marcus Porcius Cato and to his ally Graco; to Netikerty, the slave; to Areté, the prostitute; to Antiochus III the Great, king of Syria; to the old playwright Plautus, and also to his wife Aemilia Tertia, who held her head up high to the end in the midst of the greatest of public and private hecatombs. With Posteguillo’s electrifying prose, he takes us back to ancient Rome to be privileged witnesses of the decline of a life as intense as it was abundant: the end of the Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus saga and his world in the incomparable setting of a Rome that emerges victorious, without giving a care about destroying everything and everyone in its unstoppable rise, including its own heroes.
