Emperor by Colin Thubron
In AD 312 the Emperor Constantine crossed the Alps at the head of an army from the Rhineland, and marched south to take Rome. This novel is an imaginative reconstruction of the dramatic weeks leading up to his triumph. The author has also written "A Cruel Madness", "Falling" and "Behind the Wall".
COLIN THUBRON is an acknowledged master of travel writing, and the winner of many prizes and awards. His first writing was about the Middle East -- Damascus, Lebanon and Cyprus. In 1982 he travelled into the Soviet Union in an ancient Morris Marina, pursued by the KGB, a journey he recorded in Among the Russians. From these early experiences developed his classic travel books: Behind the Wall (winner of the Hawthornden Prize and the Thomas Cook Travel Award), The Lost Heart of Asia, In Siberia (Prix Bouvier) and Shadow of the Silk Road (all available in Vintage). In 2010 Colin Thubron became President the Royal Society of Literature.
