The remarkable bestseller about the fourth-century Roman emperor who famously tried to halt the spread of Christianity, Julian" "is widely regarded as one of Gore Vidal s finest historical novels. Julian the Apostate, nephew of Constantine the Great, was one of the brightest yet briefest lights in the history of the Roman Empire. A military genius on the level of Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great, a graceful and persuasive essayist, and a philosopher devoted to worshipping the gods of Hellenism, he became embroiled in a fierce intellectual war with Christianity that provoked his murder at the age of thirty-two, only four years into his brilliantly humane and compassionate reign. A marvelously imaginative and insightful novel of classical antiquity, Julian" "captures the religious and political ferment of a desperate age and restores with blazing wit and vigor the legacy of an impassioned ruler."

I'd ordered a book used for a penny on Amazon, and this was sent to me by mistake. It's not what I ordered, but because it was a 3rd party seller and a cent, I feel like it would be more work than it's worth to send it back. 😕 So, hey, if any one on here is partial to Roman history, I'll give it away!

I'm so behind on my daily posts!
I don't read #politicalfiction (because I just don't like politics) but Gore Vidal's writing is so good, I would recommend it even if it's not your thing. He's intelligent and kinda snarky. He pissed off Norman Mailer and got punched in the face! 😂

I didn't know until after he died that he was friends with the Clintons and a distant cousin of Al Gore!

How marvelous books are, crossing worlds and centuries, defeating ignorance and, finally, cruel time itself.
