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.

The Cliganic Mosquito Bracelets are amazing to use & are super comfortable. So much so I forget they’re there most of the time. I go to the mountains a lot & during this time of year I get eaten alive by Mosquitos. When I first wore these it worked instantly. I wore one on my ankle and wrist for good measure. My friends didn’t want them because they said “I don’t get bitten” but when they seen how protected I was they were quick to change their minds. Now they buy these too and I don’t go up to the mountains without them.

I bought these for camping and hiking. They lasted about a day for each bracelet before they started to lose smell. We did not find any ticks on us and no bug bites! Already purchased more for our next trip! Highly recommend!!

These bracelets work but with caveats. I got them because sometimes I want to take quick walks outside, but don't want to put on sticky big spray and have to shower 2x a day because of the spray. Enter these bracelets. 1st caveat: they fairly quickly decrease in efficacy, which makes me feel guilty for creating so much non compostable/recyclable waste relatively quickly. I have a neighbor with a swampy pool that causes a bunch of mosquitos in the neighborhood in the summer. Without the bracelets, I got 14 bites when going outside for 1 hour. With the bracelets (1st wear and one per limb), I got none. 2nd caveat: I have found that I need 1 bracelet per limb in order to avoid bites. For a nighttime Joshua tree stargazing outing with a friend, we each only put one on and both got bit up like crazy. Later, I gave the bracelets another chance. I put one on each elbow and one on each knee. Wore them and then put them back in the pouches for later use. No bites. Used them a 2nd and 3rd time with no bites, but got 4 bites today with the 4th use, which indicates they're at their effective end of life at around 3 or 4 wears. Overall, they work if you make sure you have a little citronella bubble around you by putting one on each limb, but they generate a relatively large amount of waste for the amount of protection they provide, and the protection itself can be spotty. If your only goal is to not use chemical spray on your skin, these bracelets meet it. If your goal is solely to not get bit, spray might be a better choice.

Great gift for keeping the mosquitoes away!
Size: Pack of 10, Set name: Classic
My significant other loves to take hikes in the woods and for now, it is bug free, but that won't last long here in Minnesota! I gave him these insect repellent bracelets before and he really appreciated them. He doesn't like spraying bug repellant on himself or his clothing, so these bracelets are the ticket for him! I tucked them in a gift bag along with some trail mix for his next hiking adventure. He loved them! You will, too!
