Majakanvartija y.m. kertomuksia

A vivid portrait opens in ancient Rome, where the patrician Cajus Septimus Cinna drifts between legion camps, lavish banquets and the glitter of the city’s elite salons. He moves with equal ease through the arena of gladiatorial sparring, the irreverent chatter of philosophers, and the intoxicating allure of exotic performers from distant islands. The narrative captures his voracious appetite for beauty, rare delicacies, and rare artifacts, all while he ponders the fleeting nature of pleasure and the empty promises of stoic doctrine.

Through Cinna’s eyes we glimpse a world of sumptuous excess tempered by a restless skepticism. He treats philosophy as a sport, delights in obscure poetry, and watches the decadent spectacles of the circus with a critical yet fascinated gaze. The story balances vivid historical detail with witty commentary, inviting listeners to explore a charismatic yet contradictory figure navigating the vibrant, chaotic pulse of a great empire.
