Biography
Vasily Rudich
`... the core of Rudich's book consists of six thickly detailed chapters which cover the varied careers, experiences and fates of those who dissented under Nero. Many of these mini-biographies are finely drawn. Their strenght lies in a recognition of their subjects' humanity.' - Times Literary Supplement
