Marco el romano

Marco, a young Roman patrician faithful example of the amorality and licentious customs of the Empire, will witness the passion and death of Jesus Christ. From that moment on, his life changes. In contact with the apostles, he will make a long pilgrimage through the lands of Galilee. And the free and dissipated life will be left behind, because Marco will become a new man. This work is one of the most famous historical frescoes that Mika Waltari bequeathed to us. Well, in Marco the Roman, with a wonderful style, the Judeo-Roman world of the first century is reproduced with intensity and color, where the figure of Jesus and his first followers could not be missing. And no one like Waltari, whose name is linked to history through the memorable story of Sinué the Egyptian, to lead the reader by the hand in this fascinating adventure through the known world of the time.
