ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The masterpiece of the historical novel.
At the end of the third century B.C., Rome was at the brink of complete obliteration by the Carthaginian armies, commanded by one of the best military strategists of all times: Hannibal. His alliance with Philip V of Macedonia--who sought to dismantle Rome as an Estate and distribute the known world between the powers of Carthage and Macedonia--constituted an unstoppable force that, had it achieved its objective, would have forever changed the future of the Western World. But fate and fortune intervened so it would be otherwise. A few years before the outbreak of the bloodiest armed conflict Rome had ever seen, a boy destined to change the course of History was born: Publius Cornelius Scipio, who would later be known as Africanus. Based on Santiago Posteguillo's homonymous novel, Ivn Garca and Daniel Domnguez--respectively in charge of illustrating and adapting the script--recreate in these pages the early life of one of the most influential figures in history.
