Et Tu, Brute?: The Deaths of the Roman Emperors by Jason Novak (English) Hardcov

Description: Et Tu, Brute? by Jason Novak A wry cartoonists bloody romp through Roman history. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Being an emperor in ancient Rome was a dangerous business. Most of the nearly 100 emperors from the dawn of the Roman empire to its fall died violently—often the victims of assassination, battle wounds or gruesome maladies. A sly work of cartoon history, with a touch of dark wit, Et Tu, Brute? is an irreverent, illustrated compendium of the deaths of all the Roman emperors. Here Nero stabs himself in the throat, Tiberius is smothered in his sleep, Caligula is stabbed by his own praetorian guard and Claudius is fed poisonous mushrooms by his wife. Author Biography Jason Novak is a cartoonist whose work has appeared in The New Yorker, Harpers, the Paris Review, the Rumpus, and the Believer. He lives in Oakland, California. Review A witty and delightfully morbid book that will make you wonder why on earth anyone would want to be a Roman Emperor.--Mike Duncan, best-selling author of The Storm Before the StormThis twisted and fantastically illustrated survey of the brutal fate of every Roman Emperor is a strong reminder to study history--because we sure as hell dont want to repeat it.--Wendy MacNaughton, best-selling author of Pen & Ink Review Quote "This twisted and fantastically illustrated survey of the brutal fate of every Roman Emperor is a strong reminder to study history--because we sure as hell dont want to repeat it."
