The first man in Rome [#books #review]

by Colleen McCullough

Masters of Rome
The Grass Crown

An extremely fascinating novel, compelling and very pleasant to read. Above all I liked that it makes you immerse fully in the atmosphere of 2100 years ago Rome, and yet it seems that it's talking about us, now, here: in more than 2000 years many things have changed, but human nature remained the same, and with it the relationships and the way of managing the policy.

A reading that I really needed, even if unfortunately it took a lot to finish it, it was a page-turner. I don't know how much I will be able to resist before I'll buy the next one in this saga!
