Über diesen Titel

 For almost a thousand years, Rome held sway as the spiritual and artistic centre of the world. Hughes vividly recreates the ancient Rome of Julius Caesar, Marcus Aurelius, Nero, Caligula, Cicero, Martial and Virgil. With the artistic blossoming of the Renaissance, he casts his unwavering critical eye over the great works of Raphael, Michelangelo and Brunelleschi, shedding new light on the Old Masters. In the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when Rome's cultural predominance was assured, artists and tourists from all over Europe converged on the city. Hughes brilliantly analyses the defining works of Caravaggio, Velasquez, Rubens and Bernini.

Hughes' Rome is a vibrant, contradictory, spectacular and secretive place; a monument both to human glory and human error. In equal parts loving, iconoclastic, enraged and wise, peopled with colourful figures and rich in unexpected details, ROME is an exhilarating journey through the story of one of the world's most glorious cities.

A fascinating subject. And the book contains some very interesting passages. But on the whole it suffers from a whole series of factual errors.
The audio version suffers from a speaker who didn’t make any effort to learn how to pronounce the frequent Italian names correctly and consequently butchered half of them. One would think that some knowledge of Italian pronunciation would be the first thing to expect when recording a book about Rome. Furthermore, stupid mistakes like confusing the Parthenon for the Pantheon and other errors (BC for CE) make listening a rather confusing and annoying experience.
