Pressestimmen
"What makes Davis's long-standing series so indelible is the expert blend of Falco's wisecracking observations and crazy family life with some masterly suspense. . . . The mystery is intricately plotted, the characters are well drawn, and Falco is as engaging a protagonist as ever, still tough but wiser and more reflective, too. Another winner for historical mystery fans." "--Library Journal" on "Alexandria"
Kurzbeschreibung
As the girl came running up the steps, I decided she was wearing far too many clothes...So, in 1989, readers were introduced to Marcus Didius Falco, the Roman informer, as he stood on the steps of the Temple of Saturn, looking out across the Forum: the heart of his world. Twenty years and twenty books later, Falco fans want a companion volume. Only here will you learn the author's private background, including her descent from a failed assassin and how atheism improved her knitting. Here too are the real glories and heartache involved in research and creation: why the baby had to be born in Barcelona, which plots evolved from intense loathing of management trainees, what part a thermal vest played in the iconic Falco's conception. It can't be a complete handbook to ancient Rome, but it covers perennial issues. There are a hundred illustrations, some specially commissioned, others from family archives. Enlightening quotations come from the Falco books and from eminent sources: Juvenal, through Chandler, to 1066 and All That. Readers have asked for this book. Their paranoid, secretive author agrees it is now or never. Time to spill beans on the travertine...

essential for fans
30. September 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I have been a Falco fan from the beginning. This book is as wonderful as the novels, full of the author's trademark sly and wry wit. It can be dipped into for specific information, but it is also fun just to read straight through. After a short autobiography, Davis supplies answers to everything you ever wanted to know about the world of Marcus Didius Falco from where Davis gets her ideas, to summaries of the novels, character sketches, even a couple of family trees. There is also general information on ancient Rome including maps, glossary of terms, timeline and much, much more. There is also a wealth of photos of relevant places and objects and even a photo of the dog that inspired the appearance of Nux.

Falco, The Official Companion - Lindsey Davis
2. November 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Not quite your usual "Companion" but certainly entertaining. Since I had not read the most recent "Falco" I had to stop until I had, to avoid spoilers. Recommended for someone who follows the antics of Marcus Didius.

For the Falco Fan
14. Februar 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is the book Falco-ites have been waiting for: a feast of backstage Marcus Didius Falco served up by Miss Lindsey Davis herself. Book contains many sections, including recaps of all the Falco book plots; a carefully explored biographical section on all the characters, big and small; background information about Miss Davis's writing process, travels, friends and secrets, and much much more. The section on Frequently Asked Questions is especially illuminating and entertaining. There is also a wonderful section on Roman life and culture. This book has inspired me to re-read the series again.
