Creation

About this book

Once again the incomparable Gore Vidal interprets and animates history -- this time in a panoramic tour of the 5th century B.C. -- and embellishes it with his own ironic humor brilliant insights and piercing observations. We meet a vast array of historical figures in a staggering novel of love war philosophy and adventure . . . "There isnt a page of CREATION that doesnt inform and very few pages that do not delight." -- John Leonard The New York Times
