Historical novel: “The First Senator in Rome,” is the most awaited histórical novel for those who are coming back from vacation.

La Esfera de los Libros presents “El primer senador de Roma” (The First Senator in Rome) from Juan Torres Zalba, one of the biggest offerings from the publisher for the return of the summer vacations.

In the purest classical style, the novel is set in the II Century BC, when Rome is the máximum power in the Mediterranean after having defeated Hanibal’s Carthage and the powerful kingdoms of Syria and Macedonia.

However, even after achieving dominant positions, nothing is enough for the members of the senatorial families, whether they are the Scipios, Claudius, Fabius, Licinius, Fulvios or Sulpicius.  Driven by the urge to increase their Prestige through military feats and the procurement of the highest number of honors and accolades, they never hesitate to use intrigue, alliances and treason in order to sate their hunger for personal ambition.

This is a novel about all of them, this is the imposing History of Rome.
