Publisher Description

Anthony Burgess' dazzling evocation of the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of Christianity. From the sexual antics of Tiberius to Caligula's excesses, from the burning of Nero's Rome to the eruption of Vesuvius, Burgess has fashioned a brilliant epic of decadence and zealotry, sacrilege and faith. Stylish, extravagant and endlessly entertaining.
