Product Description
Product Description
Standing on the verge of ruin, Mark Antony dictates his memoirs to his secretary Critias, who contributes an acerbic running commentary as Antony relives his struggle with Octavian for mastery of the Roman Empire in the wake of Caesar’s murder, his infatuation with Cleopatra and his obsession with the East. A tragi-comedy of ambition and self-indulgence, passion and valour, ANTONY forms a triumphant conclusion to Allan Massie’s acclaimed Roman Quartet.

A great read, with what seemed to me a stronger narrative drive than his Caesar - I read them consecutively.

Allan Massie never really hits his stride with this one. Anthony doesn't really speak for himself, his secretary fills in so many gaps it becomes his narrative instead of Anthony's. As such, the intimacy of Augustus and Tiberias is never achieved, nor, and this is more important, does Anthony's character really come accross. I enjoyed Massie's Caesar far more, even if he should really have called it "Decimus Brutus" for its narrator.
Colleen McCollough's recent take on Anthony presents a much more believable and sympathetic Anthony in a more credible Roman world, although Allan Massie's Augustus, covering the same period as this book, is one the best books on this era and a great novel in its own right.
