大洋导读:
在古罗马,每年十月的伊德斯日,人们通过祭献最好的战马——十月马,祈求帝国永远拥有无人匹敌的威严和荣光。“十月马”正是恺撒戎马一生和悲情命运的象征。 帝国的垂暮之年,尤利乌斯·恺撒是一位极富争议性的人物。有人崇拜他,另一些人则鄙视他,但是他在元老院的统治地位却丝毫未受撼动。迫于内战的压力,他不得不置天香国色、精明诡诈的情人 ——埃及艳后克利奥帕特拉于不顾,开始着眼于帝国的未来:谁才是继承罗马帝国最高统治权的合适人选?帝国的阴影之下,谋杀无处不在。谁的智慧和狡计足以颠覆帝国的巨人?谁又可以坦然地直面巨人坍塌后的混乱与纷争?
With her renowned storytelling gifts in full force, Colleen McCullough delivers a breathtaking novel that proves once again that she is the top historical novelist of our time. Grand in scope and vivid in detail, McCullough's gripping narrative thrusts readers headlong into the complex and fascinating world of Rome in the tumultuous last days of the Republic. At the height of his power, Gaius Julius Caesar becomes embroiled in a civil war in Egypt, where he finds himself enraptured by Cleopatra, the nation's golden-eyed queen. To do his duty as a Roman, however, he must forsake his love and return to the capital to rule. Though Caesar's grip on power seems unshakable, the political landscape is treacherous -- the returning hero has no obvious successor, and his legacy seems to be the prize for any man with the courage and cunning to fell Rome's laurelled leader. Caesar's jealous enemies masquerade as friends and scheme to oust the autocrat from power and restore true republican government to Rome. But as the plot races to its dramatic conclusion, it becomes clear that with the stakes this high, no alliance is sacred and no motives are pure.
两周看完一本小说,很辛苦。除了文字叙述借用了西方惯用的诗意语言,余下的就是罗嗦的人名以及一些具体事件的繁琐描述。而且作者在书中一再以恺撒的口气以及他内心的活动表达其无意做罗马皇帝,也让人觉得无聊及费解,感觉“我不想当皇帝”当书名更合适。 书名以及作者这样的噱...
评分会买这么贵的书是因为是望着作者的那部荆棘鸟,于是想,这应该是一部半真半假的小说性质的历史小说,,应该会比那些怎么看也看不懂的历史书要容易理解。 然后因为是塑封的,所以当时也没法看,,,而回家看了大约3,4章的样子就完全后悔了,,, 主要是非常非常难读,,,陌...

评分《十月祭马》是考琳·麦卡洛的系列小说《罗马之主》(Masters of Rome)的最后一部。 《罗马之主》,从马略开始,到腓力比之战为止,写的是共和最后那段大人物风起云涌的日子,但它不能称作任何人物的传记。特别是《十月祭马》这一本,只涉及到凯撒生命中最后的时光,即使是噱...
评分考琳麦卡洛的书看了几本了, 除了经典的荆棘鸟, 还有特洛伊之歌, 摩根的旅程. 每本都是厚厚的, 每本我都很喜欢. 荆棘鸟就不说了, 无论是特洛伊之歌, 还是摩根的旅程, 都是开始的时候比较难进入状态, 可是一旦深入的读了一阵子, 就会读的行云流水了. 就像书的封面上说的, 考...
