Story
Long before books were mass produced, those made of reeds from along the Nile were worth fighting and dying for. Journeying along the battlefields of Alexander the Great, beneath the eruptions of Mount Vesuvius, at Cleopatra's palaces and the scene of Hypatia's murder, award-winning author Irene Vallejo chronicles the excitement of literary culture in the ancient world, and the heroic efforts that ensured this impressive tradition would continue.

Story
In Ancient Rome all the best stories have one thing in common: murder. Romulus killed Remus to found the city, Caesar was assassinated to save the Republic. Caligula was butchered in the theatre, Claudius was poisoned at dinner and Galba was beheaded in the forum. In one 50-year period, 26 emperors were murdered. But what did killing mean in a city where gladiators fought to the death to sate a crowd? Emma Southon examines real-life homicides from Roman history to explore how perpetrator, victim and the act itself were regarded by ordinary people.

Story
Caligula : tyran épouvantable et énigme irrésolue. Après un début de règne prospère et paisible, cet Empereur fut pris d'un revirement soudain, pour se montrer d'une cruauté allant jusqu'au sadisme. Il commit l'inceste avec ses sœurs, menaça de nommer son cheval consul pour humilier ses opposants politiques, accumula assassinats et exils avec un plaisir non dissimulé, tout en menant des projets d'une extravagance incroyable.

Story
Néron : l'excellence de ses conseillers (Sénèque et Tacite) n'a pas suffi à empêcher l'émergence d'un empereur fou, criminel et pervers. Il fit assassiner sa propre mère, et causa la mort de sa femme Poppée ; il ordonna qu'on torture et exécute ses rivaux ; après l'incendie de Rome, il sut aussi dévier la colère du peuple en lui offrant un autre objet de suspicion : les chrétiens. Leur persécution fut épouvantable : jetés aux lions, ou crucifiés et brûlés vifs en guise de flambeaux, ils furent le bouc émissaire de tout un peuple.
