Divine Julius

Adult; General Fiction (including literary and historical); (Market)

"Would you like to become a god? This is perfectly doable."
So starts this fascinating glimpse into the minds of Julius Caesar and his opponents, written in the award-winning brisk style imitating Caesar's own. The book takes the format of a modern reader commenting on historical documents. Rather than follow chronological order of events, the book is divided into four parts, each dedicated to a different aspect of Caesar's political strategy: Cruelty, Benevolence, Love, and Hate.
A great critical success when it first appeared in 1961, the book was soon banned by the communist regime because it portrayed too accurately the techniques by which a dictatorship manufactures consent. Eventually published in several European languages, and considered by many a modern classic, it has been the subject of many academic articles (which will appear as part of a companion volume). Yet, due to the lingering effects of Cold War Era cultural policies, an English translation appears only now.
"This should not be read; it should be savored. It is filet mignon. Let the juice drip down your chin as you mull over every word. What a gift to have this in English!"

The Polish classic. Pure magnificence. This should not be read; it should be savored. It is filet mignon. Let the juice drip down your chin as you mull over every word. What a gift to have this in English!
