Con magistral precisión histórica y un excelente ritmo narrativo, Santiago Posteguillo presenta la historia de la infancia y juventud de Africanus, uno de los personajes más influyentes de Occidente en esta edición estuche de lujo con la trilogía completa.

Africanus

A finales del siglo III a.C. Roma está a punto de ser aniquilada por los ejércitos cartagineses al mando de uno de los mejores estrategas militares de todos los tiempos: Aníbal. Su alianza con Filipo V de Macedonia, que pretendía la aniquilación de Roma como estado y el reparto del mundo conocido entre Cartago y Macedonia, constituía una fuerza imparable que podría haber cambiado para siempre la historia de Occidente.

Pocos años antes del estallido del conflicto, nació un niño llamado a realizar grandes proezas: Publio Cornelio Escipión, hijo del cónsul de Roma durante el primer año de la guerra. Ya joven oficial, iniciaría un difícil camino, sorteando obstáculos y buscando alianzas imposibles. Sus hazañas le valieron el sobrenombre de Africanus, en alusión a uno de los territorios que conquistó.

Las legiones malditas

Publio Cornelio Escipión, que pasaría a la historia con el sobrenombre de Africanus, solo tenía veintiséis años cuando aceptó comandar las tropas romanas en Hispania. Heredero de las cualidades militares de su padre y su tío, el joven Escipión también había heredado algunos de sus feroces enemigos, como Asdrúbal, el hermano de Aníbal, o el gran púnico Giscón, quienes planeaban derrotar a su ejército en el campo de batalla.

Sus opositores lo acechaban asimismo en el Senado de Roma, donde el todopoderoso Quinto Fabio Máximo, acérrimo enemigo de los Escipión, logró forzarlo, una vez concluida la campaña en Hispania, a aceptar la tarea de liderar las legiones V y VI. Eran estas unas legiones malditas, constituidas por los soldados supervivientes de Cannae, la más humillante derrota de Roma ante Aníbal. En el exilio en Sicilia, las legiones habían perdido el sentido del deber, la disciplina y toda esperanza de regresar a la patria. Con esta maniobra, Quinto Fabio Máximo creía abocar al último Escipión a una muerte segura. Lo que no podía prever era que el joven militar y sus legiones malditas estaban llamados a cambiar el curso de la historia.

La traición de Roma

En la última novela de la trilogía de Roma Santiago Posteguillo nos narra el épico final de la vida de dos de los personajes más legendarios de la historia: Escipión y Aníbal. Tras la batalla de Zama, los eternos enemigos vuelven a encontrarse en medio de la vorágine de la guerra de Asia.

Pero La traición de Roma es también la historia del hijo de Escipión, que lucha por estar a la altura de un padre inalcanzable; la de la joven Cornelia, la hija menor, y sus ansias de libertad en un mundo de hombres; la de Marco Pocio Catón y su persecución política contra los Escipión, junto con su aliado Graco, heredero de la poderosa familia Sempronia; la de Areté, una prostituta griega demasiado bella para pasar inadvertida; la del rey Antíoco III de Siria, cegado por las ambiciones de sus generales; la de Cayo Lelio, dispuesto a permanecer junto a su gran amigo Escipión más allá de la razón, y muchos otros personajes igualmente fascinantes.

Posteguillo nos permite ser testigos privilegiados del ocaso de la vida tan intensa como desbordante de Publio Cornelio Escipión, en el marco incomparable de una Roma que emerge victoriosa por encima de la historia sin importarle arrasar en su imparable ascenso con todo y con todos, incluidos sus héroes.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

With masterful historical precision and an exceptional narrative rhythm, Santiago Posteguillo presents the story of the childhood and youth of Africanus--one of the most influential figures in Western history--in this deluxe box set edition of the complete trilogy.

Africanus

At the end of the 3rd century B.C., Rome stands on the brink of annihilation by the Carthaginian armies led by one of the greatest military strategists of all time--Hannibal. His alliance with Philip V of Macedonia, aimed at Rome's destruction and the division of the known world between Carthage and Macedonia, formed an unstoppable force that could have forever changed the course of Western history.

A few years before the conflict erupted, a boy was born who was destined for greatness: Publius Cornelius Scipio, son of the Roman consul during the first year of the war. As a young officer, he embarked on a difficult journey, overcoming obstacles and forging impossible alliances. His feats earned him the name Africanus, in reference to one of the territories he conquered.

The Accursed Legions

Publius Cornelius Scipio, who would go down in history as Africanus, was only twenty-six when he accepted command of the Roman troops in Hispania. Heir to the military brilliance of his father and uncle, young Scipio also inherited their fierce enemies, such as Hannibal's brother, Hasdrubal, and the powerful Carthaginian Gisco, both plotting to defeat his army on the battlefield.

His rivals also lurked in the Roman Senate, where the powerful Quintus Fabius Maximus--an implacable enemy of the Scipio family--forced him, after the campaign in Hispania, to command the Fifth and Sixth Legions. These were cursed legions, made up of the survivors of Cannae, Rome's most humiliating defeat at the hands of Hannibal. Exiled in Sicily, they had lost their discipline, their sense of duty, and any hope of returning home. Through this maneuver, Fabius Maximus believed he had condemned the last Scipio to certain death. What he could not foresee was that the young general and his accursed legions were destined to change the course of history.

The Betrayal of Rome

In the final novel of the Africanus trilogy, Santiago Posteguillo recounts the epic conclusion to the lives of two of history's most legendary figures: Scipio and Hannibal. After the Battle of Zama, the eternal enemies meet once more amid the chaos of the Asian wars.

But The Betrayal of Rome is also the story of Scipio's son, who struggles to live up to an unattainable father; of young Cornelia, his daughter, yearning for freedom in a man's world; of Marcus Porcius Cato and his political crusade against the Scipios, alongside his ally Gracchus, heir to the powerful Sempronian family; of Arete, a Greek courtesan too beautiful to go unnoticed; of King Antiochus III of Syria, blinded by the ambitions of his generals; of Gaius Laelius, determined to stand by his friend Scipio beyond all reason--and of many other equally captivating characters.

Posteguillo allows us to witness, as privileged spectators, the twilight of the extraordinary and turbulent life of Publius Cornelius Scipio--set against the incomparable backdrop of a Rome that rises triumphant, indifferent to the destruction it leaves behind in its unstoppable ascent, even if it means consuming its own heroes.

My Dog's All-Time Favorite Toy
Color: Pink, Style: Grunt Sound
The first one of these I ever got her was at Petco on sale for $1 - best $1 ever! The reviews are right, though. The toy doesn't last forever and it's not good for aggressive chewers. In my opinion, however, that doesn't make it a bad toy. Here's why: Aggressive chewers comments: Getting my sister's French Bulldog a stuffed toy (that's shredded in 5 minutes), compared to my Pitbull who does not tear up any toys, but is a stronger chewer when it comes to bones. My pup does not tear this up at all, but my sister's dog would. My point is: Don't get your dog a soft toy if your dog ruins soft toys. Regarding the not long-lasting comments: the honking noise mechanism inside eventually pops inside the hole, rendering it honkless. Ours lasted about 6 months. It's pretty much impossible to fix unless you want to trouble yourself to fix it for 1 good honk each fix. I would, but I do also have a job to get to. My dog does still carry it around in it's noiseless state, but she doesn't play with it with the same enthusiasm. How did I resolve this? I bought her 5 😂 She's only on her second, but I decided to stock it because they were on sale for $5.10 - I don't think I will get rid of any of them. I will just let her play with them on rotation until they fall apart. Besides all that, my dog just simply loves this toy. I have never seen her so happy & playful with a toy. I can't promise this for your dog, as I can only tell you about mine. We even have a "Sheepy" song. [I have not been paid or given free Sheeps - my Sweet Pea just really loves her Sheepy]

Loud! Just Like She Likes It
Color: Hedgehog, Style: Big Squeak Hedgehog
My Great Dane loves this noisy toy. She prefers squeaky toys with loud, unusual squeakers. (I need to invest in earplugs.) She's not an agressuve chewer or rough player so this should last a long time. Like most squeaky toys she has, the squeaker wears out before the physical toy does and once the noise is gone she won't play with it any more. If others have a similar issue...check with your local animal shelter. Some (not all) will disinfect used toys for the dogs in their care.

Fun while it lasts…
Color: Pink, Style: Grunt Sound
Fun while it lasts. Doesn’t last very long. This is our third one and last maybe a few weeks. The part that makes noise comes detached inside which causes to toy to no longer make noise, but also can be dangerous if it comes out.

Great alternative to the grunting pigs!
Color: Pink, Style: Grunt Sound
We go through A LOT of dog toys at my dog based business. The grunting pigs are super cute, but they are also super fragile. It is incredibly easy to dislodge the squeaker. (Grunter?) These are certainly not robust chew toys, but the squeaker is about 30% better at staying put than that of the pigs. It's also smaller, so it's easier for the smaller dogs to play with. These are a new favorite! Update: August, 2024 I bought an orange hedgehog. Amazon won't let me review that separately so I had to add to my sheep review. The orange hedgehog is only 3 stars. It is made of a harder plastic than the bear and the sheep. It also has a standard squeaker, not the grunting of the bear and sheep. But harder plastic DOES NOT mean that it will withstand an aggressive chewer! If your dog likes to "kill the squeaker" they will be able to do so in minutes! This IS NOT a chew toy! If you are looking for a toy for an aggressive chewer, look at the Orbeez line from Outward Hound. The other thing that makes me less enthusiastic about the orange hedgehog is that the yellow paint started flaking off immediately. I will have to scrub it all off because it looks terrible! The dogs don't care, but their owners sure do! I haven't had that problem with the sheep or the bears. The orange hedgehog is almost like it's from a completely different company!
