DOWNLOAD EBOOKA Struggle for Rome is a historical novel written by Felix Dahn. It tells about the events that follow the death of Theodoric the Great. His successors tried to maintain his legacy: an independent Ostrogothic Kingdom. However, they are opposed by the Eastern Roman Empire, ruled by emperor Justinian I. The lack of a strong heir pushed the network of alliances that surrounded the Ostrogothic state to disintegrate. Further, the Visigoth kingdom regained its autonomy under Amalaric. The relations with the Vandals turned increasingly hostile. The Franks embarked again on expansion, subduing the Thuringians and the Burgundians and almost all evicting the Visigoths from their last holdings in southern Gaul. The whole story is full of intrigues, stories of love, dignity, loyalty, and friendship. Although most characters are fictitious, the novel gives a great picture of the epoch

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFelix Dahn was a nineteenth century German Professor of Jurisprudence, as well as a historian, novelist and poet, who was greatly admired by his academic contemporaries for his grasp of the historical detail of the periods about which he wrote. He has been well served by this magisterial translation, which at last makes this astonishingly rich novel available to the modern English reader. This is a story - perhaps the story - of the clash between two great civilizations of the sixth century of the Common Era, when the Roman Empire had crumbled into dust; the struggle for Rome, and for Italy, between the Eastern Roman Empire of Byzantium, ruled by Justinian, and the Gothic warrior tribes who had captured Italy under their legendary king Theodoric. We see this epoch through the eyes of different personalities at the centre of these events which shook the world as they knew it; most are historical figures and some are imaginary but typical; Justinian and his beautiful and scheming wife, Theodora; the great commander Belisarius, immortalised by Robert Graves; Totila and Teias, two Gothic kings, one as bold and bright as the sun and the other as black as night; and Cethegus, the Prefect of Rome and the last of the Romans, whose cold and calculating nature runs through the book like a steel thread, who will stop at nothing to regain the ancient city, and who, in the end, fails and redeems his many crimes with a hero's death. Firmly based on historical fact and contemporary sources, A Struggle for Rome is one of the great historical novels of the world.
