Agrippa
Het vervolg op de Cicero-trilogie! Julius Caesar is dood, en de levens van twee jonge mannen zullen hierdoor voorgoed veranderen. De ene is Caesars neef en erfgenaam Octavius, de andere is diens beste vriend Marcus Agrippa. Om Octavius’ erfenis op te eisen, moeten ze samen de strijd aangaan – en tegen alle verwachtingen in winnen ze. Octavius wordt Caesar Augustus en twintig jaar lang regeren ze samen over de wereld. Maar macht heeft altijd een prijs. Vele jaren later is Agrippa vijftig. Verraden en verbannen zoekt hij zijn toevlucht in zijn huis aan de baai van Napels en begint hij zijn memoires te schrijven. Van de eerste ontmoetingen met Julius Caesar en het epische conflict met Marcus Antonius en Cleopatra, tot de grote zeeslag bij Actium en de eindeloze oorlogen die volgen; telkens beschrijft Agrippa hoe een man zijn leven heeft gedomineerd: de sluwe, ondoorgrondelijke en altijd meedogenloze Octavius. Waren ze ooit echt vrienden? Of draait alles in de wereld alleen om macht? Agrippa is een angstaanjagend actueel verhaal over een machtig rijk op de grens van een dictatuur.

Pompeï
Het is een hete, broeierige week aan het eind van augustus. De beste plaats om aan de hitte te ontsnappen is de prachtige baai van Napels. Langs de kust vertoeven de rijken van het Romeinse Rijk in hun pompeuze villa’s. Maar er zijn onheilspellende waarschuwingen die niet genegeerd kunnen worden. Bronnen en rivieren drogen op, mensen verdwijnen, en het grootste aquaduct ter wereld, het enorme Aqua Augusta, stroomt ineens niet meer. Robert Harris vertelt op zijn zo geroemde wijze het verhaal van een decadente wereld aan de vooravond van de totale vernietiging. ‘Ze verlieten het aquaduct twee uur voor zonsopgang. Bij maanlicht klommen ze de heuvels boven de haven in – zes mannen in ganzenpas, de ingenieur voorop. Hij had ze zelf uit hun bed getrommeld – een en al stijve ledematen en gemelijke, onuitgeslapen gezichten – en nu hoorde hij hoe ze achter zijn rug over hem klaagden. In de warme, roerloze lucht droegen hun stemmen verder dan ze zelf beseften.’
