Über diesen Titel

It is 54 B.C. Gaius Julius Caesar is sweeping through Gaul. While his victories in the name of Rome are epic, the conservative leaders of the Republic are not pleased -- they are terrified. Where will the boundless ambition of Rome's most brilliant soldier stop? He must be destroyed before he can overthrow the government and install himself as Dictator.

When Cato and the Senate betray him, Caesar resolves to turn his genius against his ungrateful country. Backed by a loyal and skilled army, he marches on Rome. But before reaching his goal, he must contend with Pompey the Great, a formidable adversary who underestimates the renegade Caesar.

These are tumultuous times -- for Caesar, who endures personal tragedies even as he wages war; for Pompey, who must wrestle with his fear that his greatness is at an end; for Cicero, whose luminous rhetoric is shattered by threat of violence; and for the citizens of Rome, whose destiny lies in Caesar's hands.

The fifth novel in Colleen McCullough's unforgettable Masters of Rome series, Caesar brings to life the passion and genius of an incomparable man.

I have never before been so disappointed by any audiobook! I know the original book by Colleen McCullough, read it many times and like it so much that I wanted to have the audiobook for long journeys. This audiobook, however, has been shortened more or less beyond recognition, sadly leaving out whole chapters and long stretches of the plot, rendering the book boring and uninteresting. The whole gallic war, Vercingetorix’ struggle for power, Caesar’s ingenious strategies, his abilities as a leader of men, which is a substantial part of the book, has been foreshortened to a couple of sentences, an artless summary, while the politicking in Rome is told more or less verbatim.
If You know and like the original book, avoid this audiobook and spare yourself the disappointment!

Extremely shortend and cut down
