Fortune"s Favorites: Colleen McCullough ** First Edition ** 1993
Fine no signs of wear
Cover: Hardcover with slipcover
The third volume of a saga set in ancient Rome focuses on the political fortunes of Julius Caesar, a soldier destined for greatness; Sulla the dictator; and the ambitious Pompey, as well as Spartacus's slave revolt
In her third majestic tale of Rome (83-69 B.C.), McCullough spotlights three mighty beings and the frictive sparks from their occasional interactions: Sulla, Dictator of Rome, whose early career was chronicled in The First Man in Rome (1990) and The Grass Crown (1991); the military juggernaut Pompey; and the great Julius Caesar, ``the greatest prime mover of them all.'' Again, McCullough brings order to the mighty tangle of battles and political strategies of ancient heavyweights--in the Forum Romanum or in the tents of war. Sulla, his early beauty gone, scabrous, toothless, and given to bouts with the wineskin, takes over Rome as Dictator, issues a blizzard of new laws returning rule to the patricians (landed aristocrats), and banishes all masks and effigies of his old partner and foe, the late Gaius Marius (The First Man in Rome).
