More about the book

The story follows a proud general who, after a significant military victory, is offered the consulship of Rome but rejects the people's will, leading to his downfall. As he becomes a target of public scorn, he vehemently opposes popular rule and ultimately seeks vengeance by aligning with former enemies. This tale of ambition, pride, and revenge is adapted from Plutarch's Lives, capturing the grandeur and complexities of Ancient Rome. The narrative has also been transformed into a notable film directed by Ralph Fiennes.
