A Reconstruction of Caesar's Life.,
By
This review is from: Imperial Caesar (Hardcover)
The author performs a very interesting reconstruction of Caesar's life in a similar way as he has done in "The Young Caesar", first part of Caesar's bio.
The night previous to his murder, Caesar recall his whole life. "Imperial Caesar" tells the story since the Gaul campaign. Rex Warner offers the reader an introspective image of Gaius Caesar, his auto evaluation and description of his "lebenswelt", his contemporaries, his friends and foes, his lovers, his most intimates desires, all these presented with an interesting and terse prose. The reader has the perception that these are Caesar's real thoughts and perceptions. This book denotes Warner's deep knowledge about this historically period and his empathy with the main character. This is a very commendable book for all those interested in biographical and historical themes. It will be equally appreciated by readers that have already some knowledge of the subject and by those who want to read a very entertaining historically novel. Reviewed by Max Yofre.
