Paperback. Condition: Good. The Lives of the Caesars include the biographies of Julius Caesar and the eleven subsequent emperors: Augustus, Tiberius, Gaius Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitelius, Vespasian, Titus, Domitian. Suetonius composed his material from a variety of sources, without much concern for their reliability. His biographies consist the ancestry and career of each emperor in turn; however, his interest is not so much analytical or historical, but anecdotal and salacious which gives rise to a lively and provocative succession of portraits. The account of Julius Caesar does not simply mention his crossing of the Rubicon and his assassination, but draws attention to his dark piercing eyes and attempts to conceal his baldness. The Live of Caligula presents a vivid picture of the emperor's grotesque appearance, his waywardness, and his insane cruelties. The format and style of Suetonius' Lives of the Caesars was to set the tone for biography throughout western literature - his work remains thoroughly readable and full of interest.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Son biografias de doce cesares, desde Julio Cesar hasta Domiciano. Si bien se ha criticado el exceso de anecdotas escabrosas, su ingenuidad y el interes que despierta la vida privada de los cesares han hecho que su obra no haya dejado nunca de interesar tanto a los estudiosos como al gran publico. Todas las vidas empiezan con un primer apartado que habla de sus padres y de sus primeros anos. El segundo apartado, se ocupa de los anos de poder; el tercero, de sus caracteristicas personales y el cuarto, de la muerte del emperador. Mas que describir caracteres o detallar la psicologia de cada uno de los cesares biografiados, Suetonio deja que las anecdotas, tanto personales como relativas al ejercicio del poder, arrojen luz sobre los que fueron los hombres mas poderosos de su tiempo. A veces la vida privada y el gobierno se entremezclan con brutalidad, como cuando en la biografia de Tiberio se cuenta del que fue sucesor de Augusto que su crueldad no conocio freno ni limites cuando supo finalmente que su hijo Druso, a quien creia muerto a consecuencia de una enfermedad provocada por su intemperancia, habia sido envenenado por su esposa Livila y por Sejano.…
