Krátky popis
A consuming story of love, loss and redemption set in the classical
world of Rome and Greece, ",Of Merchants &, Heroes", is the
story of a young man's pursuit of his father's murderer and of the
values and qualities he develops that will make him a man ...a man
capable of a deep, noble and enduring love. At the end of the third
century BC, as Republican Rome's long war with Carthage was at last
drawing to a close, it was already threatened by a new enemy,
Philip, the tyrant king of Macedon in the east. Thus begins Rome's
long involvement with Greek civilization, from which it is to learn
so much ...Into this turbulent world emerges our Roman hero,
Marcus, whose father is brutally murdered by pirates on a journey
from Italy to Corfu on a visit to his uncle. Fate takes him to some
of the great cities of the Greco-Roman world at a time of major
turbulence, where he learns much and finds love unexpectedly.This
is a remarkable, beautifully written debut that explores political
and philosophical questions that are timeless - democracy and
tyranny, war and self-defence, right and duty - as well as
questions of love, loyalty and betrayal.
