Acerca deste libro electrónico

The strategic general Drusus is entrusted with the mission of bringing the indomitable barbarians of Germania under the Roman Empire's control. Once the battle is won, Prince Sigmar offers his son, Arminius, as a hostage to the Romans. Caesar consigns the education of the young barbarian to one of his most trusted companions, Titus Valerius Falco. Titus has a son of the same age as Arminius, an unruly young man called Marcus, also in need of an education worthy of his name. Together, these two budding soldiers go through full training, and are time and again subjected to the steely discipline and harsh tests of their tutor, an ex-legionary. Through these trying experiences, the insolent young Roman and the hot-headed German gradually transform their reciprocal hatred into a strong friendship... especially as they begin to discover the irresistible charms of their various female contemporaries...

Acerca do autor

Enrico Marini, an Italian national, was born on August 13th, 1969, in Switzerland, where he studied illustration at the Basel Academy of Fine Arts. His style is influenced by American comics, Italian fumetti, French bande dessinée and Japanese manga, and he is an admirer of authors such as Milton Caniff, Alex Toth, John Romita Sr., Mike Mignola, Hermann, Jordi Bernet, Hergé, Giraud and Otomo. His career was launched at the 1987 Festival de la Bande Dessinée in Sierre, where he would compete with the most promising emerging talents. His own talent was recognized immediately, and he was entrusted with his first series, "Olivier Varèse," based on a script by Thierry Smolderen, produced by Alpen Publishing. In 1992, Marini and Smolderen tried their hand at something totally different with "Gipsy" ("Gypsy"), a flesh-and-blood sci-fi adventure with a real badass hero. Marini would then enter the realm of vampires with "Rapaces" (Europe Comics, "Raptors"), this time alongside Jean Dufaux. With Stephen Desberg, he fulfilled his childhood dream of creating a western-style comic, "L'Étoile du désert" (Europe Comics, "Desert Star"). Together they co-wrote "Le Scorpion" ("The Scorpion," Cinebook), a massive swashbuckling adventure series. More recently, since 2007, Marini, now a full-fledged writer, has been bringing ancient civilizations back to life with the epic saga of "Les Aigles de Rome" (Europe Comics, "The Eagles of Rome"). He followed that with "Batman: The Dark Prince Charming" (published by DC), one of his most ambitious projects to date. His latest work includes the gritty and beautiful graphic novel "Noir burlesque" (Dargaud, Europe Comics in English). He is known to be one of the rare comic artists who inks and paints his original art by hand directly on the page.
