Roma, año 77 a.C. El cruel senador Dolabela va a ser juzgado por corrupción, pero ha contratado a los mejores abogados, ha comprado al jurado y, además, es conocido por usar la violencia contra todos los que se enfrentan a él. Nadie se atreve a ser el fiscal, hasta que de pronto, contra todo pronóstico, un joven patricio de tan solo veintitrés años acepta llevar la acusación, defender al pueblo de Roma y desafiar el poder de las élites. El nombre del desconocido abogado es Cayo Julio César.

Roma está bajo el control de Cómodo, un emperador loco. El Senado se conjura para terminar con el tirano y los gobernadores militares más poderosos podrían dar un golpe de Estado: Albino en Britania, Severo en el Danubio o Nigro en Siria. Cómodo retiene a sus esposas para evitar su rebelión y Julia, la mujer de Severo, se convierte así en rehén.

Publisher's summary
Una síntesis magistral de la totalidad de la vida romana, desde su fundación hasta su ocaso a manos de los bárbaros. En esta obra, Miguel Ángel Novillo López, emprende la necesaria labor de resumir los quince siglos de la existencia de la cultura romana con fin de crear una obra altamente didáctica, amena y rigurosa. Una ventana limpia a la civilización que sentó las bases de nuestro modo de vida actual. El autor traza un amplio recorrido cronológico para explicar las bases para la fundación de Roma y el posterior devenir de este pueblo desde la monarquía a la república y, por último, al imperio que será consumido por la corrupción y la decadencia.
Pero lo verdaderamente fundamental de la obra no es, pese a ser de gran relevancia, el amplio arco cronológico que recorre, su punto fuerte es que ofrece una mirada alternativa y sobradamente detallada de la historia romana. No se centra en el devenir político y militar de la Ciudad Eterna, sino que se sumerge en cuestiones que son también fundamentales para comprender su historia como: la evolución de la esclavitud, los conflictos entre patricios y plebeyos, las magistraturas y las asambleas, la religión, la numismática o la literatura romana. Una obra esencial y necesaria para la comprensión de esta porción fundamental de la historia universal. Grabada para ser disfrutada tanto por los investigadores especializados, como por los legos, ya que no demanda un vasto conocimiento previo. Breve Historia de Roma nos sumerge, a lo largo del tiempo y del espacio, en la vida cotidiana de la Ciudad Eterna.

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

How did a once faceless bureaucrat, a man whose own wife said he was born under the sign of the vampire, become the idealized face of Russian manhood and its authoritarian leader? Deputy Mayor Putin examines the man behind the myth. We will explore how Putin’s formative years shaped and drove him and how the supporting cast of characters he gathered along the way helped him get to the Kremlin’s inner sanctum.

The history of the Boston Tea Party is a hidden one. Why? Since it was a clandestine operation, all sorts of rumors and legends grew up around the event—many collected decades after the American Revolution had ended. At its core, however, the night of December 16, 1773, when colonials dumped tea from British ships into Boston Harbor, was more than a fight over tea and taxes. It was a struggle over the very nature of democracy and self-governance.

Buena cápsula de historia romana
Excelente trabajo de síntesis de más de 1000 años de historia de la Roma antigua.
Bien organizada en torno a las dinastías de emperadores.
La narración es aceptable.
Buena idea de Audible Estudios en publicar trabajos históricos en español.
