More about the book

The portrayal of the tyrannical Emperor Caligula in this 1837 play offers a unique blend of historical and fictional elements. Dumas presents a less terrifying version of Caligula, focusing on his hedonistic and villainous nature, particularly in his obsession with his "milk-sister," an early Christian. The narrative incorporates the intriguing legend of the Three Mary's, adding depth to the story. Originally written in verse, this adaptation in prose maintains a fast-paced and engaging style, making it resonate with contemporary audiences.
