Spartacus. One of the first examples of the Histora for the class struggle, for the insurrection against injustice. The slave stood up, freed from his shackles and aware that his freedom was a natural right.
Visible head of the War of the Gladiators (from 73 BC to 71 BC), he commanded many battles in which the powerful and highly gifted Roman legion was defeated.
A new proposal to revisit the character and his circumstances, his struggle and what he meant for the social foundations of his time.
Synopsis: In this exciting historical novel we witness the most famous rebellion in history from diverse, and sometimes opposing, points of view, including that of Spartacus himself, the visionary captive and gladiator whose perseverance and charisma make a prison break in a multicultural rebellion that threatens an empire; that of the prophetic Astera, whose contact with the spirit world and its omens guides the development of the rebellion; that of Nonus, a Roman soldier who moves on both sides of the conflict in a partly desperate attempt to save his life; that of Laelia and Hustus, two shepherd children incorporated into the troops of the slave rebellion, and that of Kaleb, the slave in the service of Crassus, the Roman senator and commander who carries the unenviable task of crushing an insurrection of groupers. slaves, all in an environment of violence, heroism and betrayal.
What is at stake with the Spartacus rebellion is nothing less than the future of the ancient world. No one brings more verve, intelligence and freshness to the novel about the classical period than David Anthony Durham.
