    grass crown

    "Grass Crown" is the third and fourth volumes of the historical novel series "Roman Masters" by the famous Australian writer Colleen McCullough.  This set of novels describes a period of turbulent history in ancient Rome, in which countless historical giants are the protagonists: Marius, Sulla, Caesar, and Pompey.

    The historical materials that have been handed down to the present are intermittent about the history of ancient Rome, but Colleen McCullough cleverly connects history into vivid stories through novel techniques.  The historical rigor of the novel has been recognized by the academic community. The University of Melbourne in Australia awarded the author the honorary title of Doctor of History for this set of books, which also made this set of novels a good story.

    A long time ago, I promoted the first "The First Man of Rome" in the Roman Master series. I was very happy to see someone jumping into the pit in addition to the nuclear boat yesterday. I just introduced the second "Grass Crown". Although it is useless, I still want to do it.  ¡ª¡ª

    The book review can only put the only two articles (it hurts to be so cold):

    Author: Hrazade

    ? When watching the first person in Rome, I saw Marius against Metellus, Sulla caught Jugurtha, politics and the battlefield are always at odds, and I often laughed like a barbell when I read it.  However, the second Grass Crown began to reveal the cruel and impermanent arrangements of Rome. I counted with my fingers, cried once for Livia, cried again for the death of little Sula, and the death of Drusus was like a fire.  The red iron piece suddenly accepted a heavy hammer, and I can no longer hold any of this long masterpiece with a relaxed mood.

    In the words of Sulla, the goddess of luck put on a diabolical mask on Rome.

    But no matter how sad it is, it can¡¯t stop the desire to continue reading. Strong emotional resonance is not the ultimate meaning of Roman dominance. Democracy began in Greece and was established in Rome. In Rome, the weaknesses and shortcomings of the political model under the glorious humanistic philosophy were exposed.  , but there are countless possibilities to push the country and the nation to immortality.

    Looking at the different perspectives that have been used to interpret politics through this book, the Senate (the highest power group) is often a complex polyhedron, swinging back and forth between the two extremes of corruption and righteousness.  The people are no longer just "innocent" and "sympathetic" on Facebook. They can turn into an irresistible force to promote bills at any time, but an eloquent careerist can incite them into a torrent of stupid and blind obedience.  In a world made up of people, everything has a damn two-sidedness.

    Finally, under the influence of Westernized thoughts, more and more people began to stand for "democracy". This idea even projected to Western countries = democracy = freedom = the best, and began to strictly follow the "I will oppose what the enemy supports"  "This weird logic started to attack all domestic policies.  Faced with the idea that "democracy" is the best system by default, I have recommended "The Social Contract" more than once to broaden my horizons.

    Although I sneered at being blind, red and expert, I also began to ask myself, how should I define democracy?

    In the end, I found the best answer in this book that I will stick to for a lifetime.

    Sura sat on the high purple marble platform, intimidating the six Parthaya envoys.

    "We adore a place, not a person or an idea. People come and go, and their traces on earth quickly fade away. Ideas change in every philosophical wave. But a place is eternal, as long as it is there  If the inhabitants of the city are well cared for, this place can be a greater one. I, Lucius Cornelius Sulla, am a great Roman. At the end of my life, my deeds and achievements  Will make Rome even greater. I am here today, not for myself, nor for anyone, but for my land - Rome!"

    Perhaps this spirit is no longer pure democracy, but a moment of supreme wisdom of national pride and patriotism.

    Colleen McCullough's "Roman Dominion" series is my personal favorite. From "The First Man in Rome" to "The Grass Crown", the author restores the process of transition from a republic to an empire with a popular brushwork based on his rich historical knowledge of ancient Rome.  A period of ups and downs in the history of Rome in the book has created a group of flesh-and-blood characters who can represent all aspects of ancient Roman society.

    After reading this series of novels so far, I feel that they have been completed in one go and hearty.  Corrine's honorary doctorate is worthy of her name, not only because of her admirable knowledge reserve, but also because her writing is full of historical flesh and blood, showing the texture of the social and political life of the ancient Romans more than 2,000 years ago with female delicacy and depth.

    ? Assuming that a series of novels also pay attention to the beginning, inheritance and transition in the layout, then "The First Man in Rome" is "starting", and "Grass Crown" is "inheriting".  The former depicts the representative figures who were active in the political arena of ancient Rome before the rise of Sulla, while the latter shows Sulla and Marius, that is, the"Crown (Part 1)" talks about the death of the reformer Drusus. "Perhaps the sunset of the Republic begins when she loses Drusus."  There is less one side, more darkness and shadows, but the process of constantly breaking and trampling Rome is also very attractive. It can be said that "Rome" has been anthropomorphized after the first person in Rome and the foreshadowing on the grass canopy.  This set of books is really sad or joyful. Both heroes and villains can attract your attention and bring you the pleasure of reading itself. I highly recommend it!  !  !

    Everyone really don¡¯t need to be afraid of any reading barriers. Don¡¯t think that ancient Greece and Rome will be serious and serious. It¡¯s not that Greek mythology is not serious. Aren¡¯t their dramas I put up today easy to understand?  ?  I think the only threshold is that Roman and Greek names are too long!  But it's really easy to remember when you look at it. Kaolin's group portrait ability is super strong, so don't worry about not being able to remember people.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
