Antonia; or, The Fall of Rome

Collins, Wilkie

Antonia; or, The Fall of Rome. -- Saga Egmont 2021. -- Saga Egmont. -- 250. -- Resumé: Enter Big Willy C. In this his first published novel, Collins tackles two conflicts in the Rome of 408 AD: Paganism vs. Christianity and the titular hero, the daughter of a Christian Roman zealot, Antonia vs. Goisvintha – a Goth survivor of a Roman massacre. And when mild-mannered Antonia ends up captured by Goisvintha's brother during a siege, a tale of betrayals, sex and cat and mouse can truly unfold. It's not giant mech battles on distant planets exactly, but for 1850 English literature, this is pretty darn exotic. -- ISBN : (brož.) 9990003836557. -- (e-kniha) 9788726933291.
