À propos de cet audio

"The First Man in Rome was not the best man: he was the First among other men who were his equals.... To be the First Man in Rome was something far better than kingship...."

In the first century B.C. at the height of the Roman Republic, two men set their sights on becoming the First Man - the Roman more respected than any other. Marius, a heroic man of strength and means, lacks the noble blood to contend for the First Man, but overcomes his common status when he marries into the patrician house of Caesar. Sulla, a pleasure-seeking aristocrat without money of his own, is transformed by his ambitions into a fierce and daring warrior. Together the two men will shape history as they are thrust into a raging storm - engaging in deadly political contests and waging far-off wars for a state battling to hold on to its enormous power.

Rich with unforgettable characters and unerring historical accuracy, The First Man in Rome is a vivid tale of power, treachery, and a great Republic hurtling toward civil war....

Sadly this abridged version does not compare to the original unabridged version,which was a blockbuster. I listened to the audio version on tape 12 yrs ago. I would love an original audio for my Colleen McCollough collection even on tape. My vision disability only allows me audio books. Folks if you can read buy the unabridged book,you’ll not be disappointed. I’ll scout the libraries for the CD or tape version.

Awesome book!

I know that it says on the cover that it is abridged, but….The story is great, don’t get me wrong, but the novel is far, Far more rich! Entirely gone are Bomilcar, Lucius Decumius the Crossroads college leader, Piblius Vaggienius and his Ligurian nose for snails that ultimately lead to the downfall of Jugurtha, and so, so much more.

Far too abridged

There is abridged for audio and then there is this. Way too take an incredible book and reduce it to CliffsNotes.

Abridged? Nay. Butchered.
