Synopsis
It is winter in BC 53/52 and the beginning of the end of the Roman Empire. The aristocracy in the senate are becoming increasingly far removed from the common people, while gang fighting and political murders are daily reality in Rome. In Gaul, Gaius Julius Caesar becomes wealthier with every raid - and hence more powerful: in the eyes of the senate, too powerful. Cicero and other Roman politicians force the one-time warrior Quintus Aurelius to work in Caesar's field kitchen and spy on him for the senate. In Rome, Gaul and Egypt he keeps meeting the charming Calypso, a hetaera who is as erudite as she is shrewd and with whom he is bound by a bitter-sweet love. As the Roman struggles for power near their climax, Calypso and Aurelius increasingly wonder what Caesar's real objectives are; but no matter what they may be - surely anything would be better than a continuation of the bloody death throes of the rotten republic? With his successful novels, Gisbert Haefs skilfully and fascinatingly makes the ancient world come alive. Press "Haefs uses captivating dialogues and his wide knowledge to tell us of past times." Facts "Excellent literature." Berliner Zeitung "As is typical of him, he tells history as an exciting story - at times coarse, at times comically ironic, and with a continual erotic twist." Welt am Sonntag "The antique period appears here as if it has just recently happened." Woman "Gisbert Haefs expertly understands how to allow the antique to come to life in a way that is fascinating."

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht; Gebrochener Buchrücken / Seiten oder Softcover umgeknickt; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. Im neuen Roman von Gisbert Haefs steht das Ende der römischen Republik bevor. Der Krieger Quintus Aurelius wird von Cicero und anderen Politikern gezwungen, Gaius Julius Caesar auszuspionieren, um dessen Machtstreben zu stoppen oder nicht? Im Winter 53/52 v. Chr. beginnt der Niedergang der Republik. Die Senatsaristokratie entfernt sich zunehmend vom Volk, während Bandenkämpfe und politische Morde das Leben in Rom prägen. In Gallien wird Caesar durch seine Beutezüge immer reicher und mächtiger, was den Senat alarmiert. Cicero und andere römische Politiker zwingen Aurelius, sich als Feldkoch Caesars zu verdingen, um Informationen zu sammeln. Dabei trifft er immer wieder auf die faszinierende Kalypso, eine gebildete und gerissene Hetäre, mit der ihn eine bittersüße Liebschaft verbindet. Während die Machtkämpfe in Rom ihren Höhepunkt erreichen, stellen sich Kalypso und Aurelius die entscheidende Frage: Was sind Caesars wahre Ziele? Und ist nicht alles andere besser als eine Fortsetzung des blutigen Kampfes der verrotteten Republik? Haefs gelingt es, die Antike lebendig und fesselnd darzustellen, während er die komplexen politischen Intrigen und persönlichen Konflikte eindrucksvoll entfaltet.
