Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. 1st Edition. MASTERFUL: DRAMATIC: RIVETING: FASCINATING: ELEGANTLY WRITTEN: METICULOUSLY RESEARCHED: NEW: First Edition hardcover (Orig. 2014) First Printing as shown by full no. line at "1" : AS-NEW handsomely-designed unclipped mylar-protected jacket displaying a bust portrait of Augustus, NEW cream-white paper-over-boards cover w/ sharp NEW edges & corners & titles gilt-stamped on spine, IMMACULATE smooth-cut text-block exterior, IMPECCABLE cream-white card-stock end-papers, PRISTINE interior printed w/ handsome clarity on EXCELLENT unblemished archival paper * 6.26" x 9.50" x 1.52", 1.06 kg, x+598 (608) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: The dramatic story of Augustus, Rome's first emperor, who plunged into Rome's violent power struggles at the age of 19, proceeded to destroy all rivals, & more than anyone else created the Roman Empire: Caesar Augustus' story, one of the most riveting in Western history, is filled w/ drama & contradiction, risky gambles & unexpected success. Thrusting himself into Rome's extremely violent politics while yet a very young man, Augustus skillfully maneuvered his way through twisting alliances during years of civil war. Named heir to the murdered Julius Caesar, he outwitted and outlasted far more experienced rivals like Antony & Brutus. Ruling supreme, he reinvented himself as a benevolent man of peace & created a new system of government. In this highly anticipated biography Goldsworthy puts his deep knowledge of ancient sources to full use, recounting the events of Augustus' long life in greater detail than ever before. Goldsworthy pins down the man behind the myths: a consummate manipulator, propagandist, & showman, both generous & ruthless. Under Augustus' rule the empire prospered, yet his success was never assured & the events of his life unfolded w/ exciting unpredictability. Goldsworthy captures the passion & savagery, the public image & private struggles of the real man whose epic life continues to influence Western history. * HIGH PRAISE: "A fascinating study of political life in ancient Rome." -Nick Romeo, Christian Science Monitor. "Augustus splendidly completes the trilogy that started w/ 'Caesar' & continued w/ 'Antony & Cleopatra'. It is the best extended treatment in English of Augustus' career & his many contradictions." -Karl Galinsky, University of Texas at Austin. "Goldsworthy has produced an elegantly-written & well-argued biography of Augustus that pulls no punches. Sifting through the literature of the Augustan Age, he brings together the ancient evidence w/ the best of modern scholarship, producing a meticulously researched but highly readable, volume on Rome's first emperor. The result is a study on the nature of leadership, the wielding of power, & the price to be paid by both." -Col. Rose Mary Sheldon, Virginia Military Institute. "Goldsworthy peers like a master jeweler into the strange cold diamond at the heart of Roman history--the emperor Augustus--& reveals the whole Roman world reflected in its facets. But the book itself is warm w/ human sympathy, elegant writing, & the sheer joy & love of history it evokes in its reader." -J.E. Lendon, author of 'Soldiers & Ghosts: A History of Battle in Classical Antiquity' & 'Song of Wrath: The Peloponnesian War Begins'. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: ADRIAN GOLDSWORTHY is a leading historian of the ancient world & author of acclaimed biographies of 'Julius Caesar' & 'Antony & Cleopatra' among many other books. He lectures widely & consults on historical documentaries produced by the History Channel, National Geographic, & the BBC. He lives in the Vale of Glamorgan, UK. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
