Three's Company. - DUGGAN, A.,
KORTE INHOUD
'Three?s Company tells the story of the Triumvirate from the point of view of Lepidus, its least distinguished member. To keep the reader?s interest when giants like Caesar, Mark Antony and Augustus bestride the stage is no mean feat in itself. Yet it is achieved without apparent effort and without distortion. (?) Lepidus holds our attention because his personal insignificance renders him an ideal medium. Alike in his virtues and failings he is so completely the product of a particular social and political system that we can see in him, what happened to the Roman republic and why (?). The military and political detail is skillfully interwoven with the narrative. The management of the plot is masterly, complicated in construction, simple in presentation, exciting and full of action.' (The Times Literary Supplement).
