ram45 's review for:
Imperium: A Novel of Ancient Rome
by Robert Harris
I have been looking at this title at bookshops and libraries and carefully avoiding it - my mistaken impression that it was part of the historical novel series by Robert Graves!! Sometime a month ago I picked up Fatherland by Robert Harris and was hooked.
Imperium gripped me from beginning to end - Cicero may be to historians, philosophers but was a stranger to me. His character and the politics of republican Rome are fascinating in that the essence of the interplay between power, influence and money is till the same in today's democracies.
A "must" read.
