读过 I Am Rome 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
不太确定是不是翻译的问题，完全没有预设中历史的厚重感，反而写出了白男版热血少年漫的感觉，最重要的剧情是凯撒在法庭上代表马其顿人挑战无恶不作但一手遮天的多拉贝拉，其间穿插有关凯撒生平或是多拉贝拉恶行的叙述，各方面的表现只能说是中规中矩，大概也是我对这种白男个人英雄主义实在不感冒……庭审的部分多少有点意思，打仗的部分真的写得挺单薄的，感情线我非常不喜欢，就算考虑到时代因素，我也无法理解刚到青春期的凯撒觉得还是preteen girl的柯尼利亚“像个女人”并产生欲望，只能觉得恶心，虽然故事发生在公元前但是读者仍是现代人，同为现代人的作者难道无法感觉到这种描写很problematic吗？

Discover the runaway #1 international bestseller that has captured readers the world over―and reminds us all why we remember the name Julius Caesar.
“Posteguillo shows just how thrilling a historical novel can be.”―El País
Every legend has a beginning . . .
Rome, 77 B.C. The corrupt Senator Dolabella is about to go on trial for his crimes.
But Dolabella owns the jury. He’s hired the best lawyers in the city. And he’s very willing to use violence against those who oppose him.
In all of Rome, no man dares accept the role of prosecutor—until, against all odds, an unknown twenty-three-year-old steps out to lead the case, defend the people of the city, and defy the power of the ruling elite.
That lawyer’s name is Gaius Julius Caesar.
So begins Santiago Posteguillo’s acclaimed masterpiece of historical fiction―a tale as epic as Caesar’s life itself. An irresistible page-turning novel of politics and betrayal, grand battles and impossible odds, shocking villainy and even greater acts of courage, I Am Rome brilliantly animates the moments that shaped this extraordinary young man’s fate—and in so doing, changed the course of history itself.
