Kansas, 1870: Der Student Will Andrews kehrt Harvard den Rücken, um im Wilden Westen sein Glück zu finden. Er landet in Butcher's Crossing, einem Ort mitten im Nirgendwo. Dort wimmelt es von rastlosen Männern, Huren und zwielichtigen Gestalten. Auf der Suche nach Geld und Abenteuern schließt sich Andrews einer Gruppe von Büffeljägern an. Nach einer strapaziösen Reise gelangen sie ans Ziel und geraten, besessen vom Töten der Büffel, in einen Blutrausch.

Das neue Meisterwerk von John Williams. Verbündete, Gegner, Feinde - ein Herrscherleben in all seinen Facetten. Octavian ist neunzehn, sensibel, wissbegierig und will Gelehrter werden. Doch als Großneffe und Adoptivsohn Julius Cäsars fällt ihm nach dessen Ermordung ein gewaltiges Erbe zu: Ihm, der von schwächlicher Konstitution, aber enormer Willenskraft ist, wird es durch Glück, List, Intelligenz und Entschlossenheit gelingen, das riesige Römische Reich in eine Epoche des Wohlstands und Friedens zu führen.

"Augustus” en storslået og velskrevet roman, der laegger sig op ad "Jeg, Claudius" af Robert Graves.

I en alt for ung alder skulle Augustus overtage styret og magten over den romerske republik. Han var omgivet af magtsyge maend, der med alle midler kaempede om magten - Cicero, Brutus, Cassius og Markus Aurelius...

Året er 1873, og Will Andrews opgiver sine universitetsstudier ved Harvard og drager vestpå. Han ender i Butcher's Crossing, en lille, gudsforladt flaekke i Kansas. Butcher's Crossing er fuld af rastløse maend, der kun taenker på at tjene hurtige penge og bruge dem lige så hurtigt, blandt dem Miller. Han og Andrews bliver venner, og Andrews fascineres af Millers historie om en enorm bisonflok, der kun venter på at blive nedslagtet, godt gemt af vejen i en smuk dal i Rocky Mountains i Colorado.

William Stoner bliver i slutningen af det 19. århundrede født ind i en fattig bondefamilie i Missouri, USA. Som ung går han på landbrugsskole, men drages af litteraturens verden. Han vender aldrig hjem til forældrenes gård og vælger i stedet det akademiske liv, hvor bøgerne og litteraturen forbliver hans faste holdepunkt - også når konflikter og skuffelser truer med at ødelægge hans tilværelse. Bogen blev første gang udgivet i 1965, siden genudgivet i 2006 i USA, hvorefter mange forlag verden over fik øjnene op for romanen. Den er nu en international bestseller. "Stoner" er et fascinerende, velskrevet og rørende portræt af en helt almindelig mand, hvis liv man ikke kan undgå at blive berørt af. Det er en roman om identitet, om livet, om de valg, vi træffer.
