Summary

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.

¡MAGISTRAL! ¡IMPRESCINDIBLE! ¡UN AUTÉNTICO BEST-SELLER!

A finales del siglo III a. C., Roma se encontraba al borde de la destrucción total, 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 las potencias de Cartago y Macedonia, constituía una fuerza imparable que, de haber conseguido sus objetivos, habría determinado para siempre el devenir de Occidente.

Pero el azar y la fortuna intervinieron para que las cosas fueran de otro modo. Pocos años antes del estallido del más cruento conflicto bélico que se hubiera vivido en Roma, nació un niño que estaba destinado a cambiar el curso de la historia: Publio Cornelio Escipión.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

El Jon Snow del Mediterráneo

Pero con la evidente ventaja de haber existido y no necesitar dragones o magia para dejarte de boca abierta. Por Cástor y Pólux y todos los dioses!

¡ESPECTACULAR!

Impresionante obra. Pelos de punta durante muchos momentos de la narración. Santiago Posteguillo y Raúl Llorens hacen que viajes en el tiempo y seas testigo en primera línea de batalla.

Dull and ordinary with good moments

Excellently read but disappointing story line until last battle when soldiers and reader were uncertain until the young generals plan was revealed by rapid movements between different scenes.

Una novela històrica molt ben explicada

Aquesta novela ens trasllada a l'època romana, amb un nivell de detall i una expressió escrita que et trasllada als escenaris. Molt ben escrita i l'audillibre té molta qualitat. S'ha d'escoltar, molt recomanable.

Deseando que llegue el segundo libro.

Nunca sentí la necesidad de leer nada de Posteguillo antes y ahora no se si puedo esperar a que estén publicados el resto. Es increíble como el narrador te arrastra en la historía y te hace querer no parar de escuchar.

Simplemente fantastico.

Menospreciar al enemigo es el camino a la derrota

Wow! que extraordinaria novela histórica. Realmente son dos biografías en una, la de Escipión el Africano y Aníbal (es imposible hablar de uno sin hacerlo del otro). El nivel de detalle descriptivo de las batallas en Italia (Tesino, lago Trasimeno y Cannae), así como la toma de Cartago Nova en España por Escipión es impresionante. El autor explica con claridad las estrategias y lo que ha de ver sido ser un testigo de tales batallas. La buena noticia es que se trata de una trilogía y ojalá publiquen pronto en audiolibro las dos partes restantes.

La narración es excelente.

Lo recomiendo 100%

Si le gusta ficción histórica o le interesa la Roma antigua, se le recomiendo ese libro. Compré el segundo de la serie antes de terminar el primero para que pudiera seguir leyendo esa historia sin interrupción.

Excelente trilogía!

Recomiendo profundamente los tres libros de Africanus. Una obra maestra escrita por el gran Posteguillo y narrada por el increíble Raíl Llorens. Magistral!
