Santiago Posteguillo
Immerse yourself in the epic trajectory of Julius Caesar through Santiago Posteguillo's narrative mastery and historical rigor, discovering how one man altered the course of History and his legend endures.
The collection "I Am Rome", "Cursed Rome" and "The Three Worlds", presented in a special boxed edition, narrates the epic trajectory of Julius Caesar, unravelled with the narrative mastery and historical rigor characteristic of Santiago Posteguillo. It is the story of a man whose destiny was to alter the course of History, and whose legend, two millennia later, endures with unbreakable vitality. "I Am Rome" transports us to 77 BC, in Rome, where the influential and violent senator Dolabella faces a corruption trial. Despite his resources to manipulate justice, a twenty-three-year-old young patrician, Gaius Julius Caesar, defies the established power by taking on the accusation. Posteguillo, with a masterful combination of historical research and literary skill, immerses the reader in the chaos of battles, guides them through dangerous streets where assassins lurk, reveals Caesar's deep love story with Cornelia, his first wife, and explores the complex origins of the man who would become a myth. This first volume unveils the extraordinary events that forged Caesar's destiny. "Cursed Rome" continues the saga in 75 BC, in the Mare Internum. Julius Caesar, accompanied only by his loyal Labienus, goes into exile to Rhodes to perfect his oratory with the master Apollonius. His goal is to return to Rome and begin a relentless struggle to enter the Senate, facing the feared Cicero. This thrilling narrative envelops us in pirate attacks, the conflict against Spartacus during the slave rebellion, and grandiose battles that evoke the smell of blood and the clang of gladii. The reader witnesses Caesar's shrewd moves to ascend in politics and witnesses the birth of the mythical Cleopatra on the banks of the Nile. This volume is an immersion into the most exciting historical saga, delving into Caesar's political ascent. Finally, "The Three Worlds" places us in 58 BC, when Rome, Gaul, and Egypt, three entities with seemingly disparate destinies, head towards an inevitable convergence. After learning about the origins and political ascent of Julius Caesar in previous volumes, this book confronts him with one of his greatest historical challenges: the conquest of Gaul. This vast and hostile territory, considered by his enemies as Caesar's tomb, becomes the setting for an epic campaign. With rigorous documentation and a vibrant narrative pace, Posteguillo recreates the suffering and grandeur of the Gallic Wars. Simultaneously, the reader witnesses the fratricidal political struggle in Rome and accompanies Pharaoh Ptolemy XII in his exile from Egypt, alongside his young and legendary daughter, Cleopatra. "The Three Worlds" represents the inexorable collision of these three legendary worlds, culminating the Trilogy of Ascent and marking the close of the first cycle of the monumental series dedicated to Julius Caesar.
