Nero - Conn Iggulden - książka
Producent: Michael Joseph
ANCIENT ROME, AD 37 The story begins dramatically with an intense confrontation, as one man's hand grips another's throat. Emperor Tiberius initiates a ruthless campaign against a traitor, soon wiping out the entire family and friends of the accused as if they had never existed. This represents the harsh reality of Roman justice. Amidst this turbulent atmosphere, a child is born to Agrippina, a direct descendant of Emperor Augustus. However, even imperial lineage offers no sanctuary. Proximity to the epicenter of the Roman Empire brings one closer to influence, conspiracy, and peril. Agrippina finds herself surrounded by soldiers, senators, rivals, and eloquent deceivers, each seeking power and favor. A single misstep could lead to banishment, imprisonment, or even execution. The gravest threat of all, however, is the potential loss of her young son. Yet, Agrippina understands that even in the bleakest of times, there lies opportunity. Her son is her legacy, her hope. She envisions molding him to embody Rome itself, a figure to whom all will give homage. But before any of that can happen, they must persevere through the present dangers. This tale explores the early life of Nero, nurtured under the vigilant and strategic guidance of his mother, Agrippina—a formidable woman whom few dared to defy.
