Kring maktens fåfänglighet och det politiska våldet kretsar Shakespeares tragedi.»I am as constant as the Northern star« (Jag är orubblig som polstjärnan), säger Julius Cæsar ögonblicket innan han faller brutalt mördad av Brutus och hans sammansvurnas knivhugg. Sedan vidtar den våldsamma kampen om arvet efter Cæsar mellan Brutus och Antonius som med sin mästerliga retorik i världens mest berömda liktal över den störtade kejsaren får folket på sin sida: »Brutus vet jag är en ärans man, det är de alla, ärans män« lyder den ironiska hyllning som startar inbördeskriget...
»Dick Harrison ... skriver med sin sedvanliga kombination av förstklassiga historiekunskaper, ledigt flytande stil, och referenser till senare kultur.« BTJIngen kan undgå att känna till hans namn, mannen som gav upphov till titeln kejsare - Caesar. Odödliggjord genom såväl namnet som filmer, pjäser, Asterix-album och inte minst gärningen som Roms härskare. Hans rykte som fältherre och statsman saknar motstycke. Han besatt en ovanlig förmåga att agera taktiskt såväl på slagfältet som i politiken. Detta skulle få honom att gå långt för långt enligt vissa.I denna behändiga biografi över mannen som blev ett begrepp, Gaius Julius Caesar, tecknar Dick Harrison bilden av människan bakom myten. Det är en motsägelsefull bild, eftersom somliga har betraktat Caesar som en tyrann medan andra har sett honom som en hjälte. Harrisons översiktliga grepp visar på orsakerna till de djupa avtryck Caesar har satt i historieböckerna.
Tvillingarna föds i Sodom och det första de gör är att svära på att de ska dricka allt blod i världen. Berget där de bor är lika stort som Frankrike. Här får gardinerna erektion och sperma rinner utmed gatorna, medan tvillingarna bevisar sin kärlek till Gud genom ständiga hädelser. Mitt i alltihop vaggar deras feta amma Julius Caesar fram, otillfredsställd och försummad. Joyce Mansours egensinniga fantasi får hela världen i Julius Caesar att sjuda av överrumplande erotik. Joyce Mansour (1928?1986) föddes i England och växte upp i Egypten. Efter att ha flyttat till Frankrike med sin förmögne make blev hon en aktiv deltagare i den franska surrealiströrelsen. Hennes skrivande föddes ur frustrationen i ett första, misslyckat äktenskap, och raseriet och erotiken löper som en skälvande röd tråd genom hennes böcker. Mansour betraktas som en av de viktigaste författarna i efterkrigstidens surrealism, och ges nu för första gången ut i bokform på svenska.
