Quickly, a widespread uprising emerges that spreads throughout the entire country.Under the leadership of the Thracian Spartacus, they defeated the Roman legions time and time again, - forces renowned for their victories across the known world. Advanced as far as the Alps they did, before turning south once more in a bid to escape the peninsulaSpartacus, a Thracian, not really tangible from the mists of history, - compared to Hannibal or Alexander, there are hardly any written records about him.Hannibal is, above all, the battle of Cannae. Spartacus has no recorded battle that eclipses all others, no crossing of the Alps, only a tale told in familiar strains, shaped more by legend than by history.This novel attempts to portray the uprising as, -'The Attempt Of The Impossible'.The film Blade-Runner (despite a completely different genre) has been a blueprint for the form of making the impossible, subtly, visible. There is no similarity to the plot, or the characters, it is the form/idea of depicting the impossibility of an undertaking. Artikel-Nr. 41527087/1
