توضیحاتی درمورد کتاب به خارجی
From acclaimed classical historian, author of Ghost on the
Throne (“Gripping . . . the narrative verve of a born
writer and the erudition of a scholar” —Daniel
Mendelsohn) and editor of The Landmark Arrian:The
Campaign of Alexander (“Thrilling” —The New York Times
Book Review), a high-stakes drama full of murder,
madness, tyranny, perversion, with the sweep of history on the
grand scale.
At the center, the tumultuous life of Seneca, ancient Rome’s
preeminent writer and philosopher, beginning with banishment in
his fifties and subsequent appointment as tutor to
twelve-year-old Nero, future emperor of Rome. Controlling them
both, Nero’s mother, Julia Agrippina the Younger, Roman
empress, great-granddaughter of the Emperor Augustus, sister of
the Emperor Caligula, niece and fourth wife of Emperor
Claudius.
James Romm seamlessly weaves together the life and written
words, the moral struggles, political intrigue, and bloody
vengeance that enmeshed Seneca the Younger in the twisted
imperial family and the perverse, paranoid regime of Emperor
Nero, despot and madman.
Romm writes that Seneca watched over Nero as teacher, moral
guide, and surrogate father, and, at seventeen, when Nero
abruptly ascended to become emperor of Rome, Seneca, a man
never avid for political power became, with Nero, the ruler of
the Roman Empire. We see how Seneca was able to control his
young student, how, under Seneca’s influence, Nero ruled with
intelligence and moderation, banned capital punishment, reduced
taxes, gave slaves the right to file complaints against their
owners, pardoned prisoners arrested for sedition. But with
time, as Nero grew vain and disillusioned, Seneca was unable to
hold sway over the emperor, and between Nero’s mother,
Agrippina—thought to have poisoned her second husband, and her
third, who was her uncle (Claudius), and rumored to have
entered into an incestuous relationship with her son—and Nero’s
father, described by Suetonius as a murderer and cheat charged
with treason, adultery, and incest, how long could the young
Nero have been contained?
Dying Every Day is a portrait of Seneca’s moral struggle
in the midst of madness and excess. In his treatises, Seneca
preached a rigorous ethical creed, exalting heroes who defied
danger to do what was right or embrace a noble death. As Nero’s
adviser, Seneca was presented with a more complex set of
choices, as the only man capable of summoning the better aspect
of Nero’s nature, yet, remaining at Nero’s side and colluding
in the evil regime he created.
Dying Every Day is the first book to tell the compelling
and nightmarish story of the philosopher-poet who was almost a
king, tied to a tyrant—as Seneca, the paragon of reason,
watched his student spiral into madness and whose descent saw
five family murders, the Fire of Rome, and a savage purge that
destroyed the supreme minds of the Senate’s golden age.
