Description
Odehrává se za vlády císaře Tita, kdy pověst o tom, že císař Nero ještě žije, dala politikům možnost, aby ho vzkřísili v postavě hrnčíře Terentia. Nové vzdorocísařství se udržuje při životě jen za cenu krvavých násilností, politických úskoků a hromadných poprav. Pod historickým nátěrem se tak evokují politické metody k uchvácení a udržení moci. Román je politickou satirou na události, které provázely v Německu nástup fašismu a definitivní show more uchopení moci Hitlerem. show lessTags

Author Information
Lion Feuchtwanger, novelist and dramatist, was born in Munich, Germany, the son of a wealthy manufacturer. The rise of the Nazis drove him to France, and after the collapse of that country he escaped to Spain with great difficulty. He reached the United States in 1940. A major work is his trilogy on the Jewish historian: Josephus (1932), The Jew show more of Rome (1935), and Josephus and the Emperor (1942). He was best known in Germany as a dramatist, but his international success was due to his revival of the historical novel written with modern psychological understanding.
