Sinossi

In "Quintus Claudius, Vol. I," Ernst Eckstein presents a vivid narrative that intricately weaves elements of Roman history and personal heroism through the life of its titular character. The novel is laden with rich, descriptive prose that captures the essence of ancient Rome, exploring its political intricacies, social dynamics, and the moral struggles of its citizens. Eckstein employs a literary style that reflects the complexity of the time, utilizing dialogue and inner monologue to create depth within his characterizations, ultimately bridging the gap between classical antiquity and contemporary sensibilities. Ernst Eckstein, a German author and scholar, was deeply influenced by his own academic pursuits in history and literature, dedicating his life to a broader understanding of human experiences and the epochs that shape them. His intimate knowledge of Roman culture, gleaned from extensive research and a passionate interest in the period, fuels his imaginative re-creation of Quintus Claudius's world. Eckstein's background in classical studies imbues his writing with authenticity and ensures that both the historical framework and character development are painstakingly crafted. This compelling narrative is highly recommended for both lovers of historical fiction and those seeking to gain insight into the complexities of Roman life. Readers will find themselves not only entertained but also educated, as Eckstein beautifully juxtaposes individual stories against a backdrop of historical significance, urging us to reflect on the perennial nature of human ambition and morality.

    Nico, who has just begun passing as a transgender man, relishes the quiet life working as a bonsai bodyguard. But during a chance encounter one night amidst the aftermath of a territory dispute, he meets Brant, an excitable, good-natured cookie guard, and the two strike an instant friendship.

Unscrupulous enemies lurk in the shadows, eager to exploit Gustopher on the black market.
