Mark Antony (Paperback)

Customer Review

After four noticed biographies about Caligula, Tiberius, Claudius and Augustus, Pierre Renucci gives us the story of the life of the defeated at Actium, Marc Antony.
The company was perilous: the image of Antoine is indeed related to the effects of Augustan propaganda and, moreover, the facts are so intertwined that one might read a paraphrase of "Roman Revolution", the book Ronald Syme exceptional.
Or Renucci avoids these pitfalls: the story is exciting and remarkably constructed, and the author brilliantly analysis of well-known texts (Cicero, Plutarch, Dio Cassius ...) by sending us interpretations which, sometimes they Personal are, show pertinence.Marc Antoine is a Roman hero, generous, humane and endearing, that will show unusual military capabilities and a great political sense; Antoine Renucci analyzes the relationships / Cleopatra in terms geopolitical impose.Le misfortune that Antoine is having been a victim, like many others, the dream of Alexander and the Parthian obsession and especially to have had as a rival and enemy devoid engineering scruples who understood the revolution that he led.
However, it is unfortunate that Renucci engages in some vocabulary releases ("buddy", "lideur" !!! "hogwash" ...), the publisher has chosen to cover the very ugly picture of drudge Hillemacher and there is no booklet photographique.Ces defects do not prevent salute the success of this lively biography that the hero deserved.
