Tali Nudelman talinu — Last year my editor at Gramedia presented me with three choices for my next translation project, and after reading their synopses at Amazon, I chose this one. After two-three years returning to full-time translating, I've found that I prefer translating novels with a non-modern-American setting, especially fantasy and historical fiction. This one fits the bill. I never regretted my choice. Imperium was a joy to translate. I dove into the world of Ancient Rome Republic in the first century BC and got a chance to glimpse the famous figures populating it--Julius Caesar, Pompey the Great, and of course Cicero, the protagonist of the novel--and seeing them come alive from the pages. The story itself is told through the eyes of Tiro, Cicero's personal secretary and inventor of stenography. It captures Cicero's personal and public life, and his struggle to attain imperium--the ultimate power in Rome--without the help of ancestry, army, or wealth; only armed with his wit and oratorical skills. And within this enthralling story, there is courtroom drama, intrigues, and political maneuvers and machinations. But what I love most about this novel is the historical accuracy. The wealth of Cicero's body of works that survive till this day has allowed the author to create a story as historically-accurate as a novel can get. Simply loved it.

Jessica Fiuza _essica_iuza — There are some books that are profound and convoluted and you have to plod through to make any sense of them. And then there are books that seem so easy at one level but leave you with a dozen thoughts to chew on. I'd file Things Fall Apart in the latter category. There is a line in the book about how the art of conversation among the Igbo tribe is highly valued and "proverbs are the palm-oil with which words are eaten." Achebe captures this sentiment perfectly through the beautiful metaphors and allegories in the book. You understand that the practice of dialogue is really lost to modern society while being preserved by "primitive" society.
