＜p＞A compulsively readable story of passion, adventure and a woman's quest for independence set against the colourful backdrop of 19th century Bendigo and the goldfields of Ballarat.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞1854, Ballarat, Victoria＜/strong＞ When Nell Amberton's husband is shot dead by a bushranger, there are few who grieve his passing, and Nell least of all. How could she miss the monster who had abused her from the day they wed ? the man who had already killed his innocent first wife? But his death triggers a chain of events that seem to revolve around the handsome bushranger who murdered him ? a man to whom Nell, against her better judgement, is drawn.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But Nell has far more than a mysterious stranger to worry about. With a mess of complications around her late husband's will, a vicious scoundrel of a father trying to sell her off in matrimony, and angry relatives pursuing her for her husband's gold, she is more concerned with trying to ensure her safety and that of her friend, goldfields laundry woman Flora, than dealing with the kind of feelings that led her astray so catastrophically before.＜/p＞ ＜p＞After the violence on the goldfields, Nell's fate also hangs in the balance. It seems that, after all, she might need to do the one thing she has avoided at all costs … ask for the help of a man.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞The action of the play involves the forces of Cato at Utica, located in the kingdom of Numidia (current day Tunisia/Algeria region of Northern Africa). Cato, a Roman Statesman and follower of the Stoic philosophy, was on the losing side of a civil war against Julius Caesar. Cato sees Caesar as an enemy of the Roman Republic’s history of liberty, virtue, and other great traditions; a cruel dictator in short. After the war, Cato and Scipio, a like-minded Roman general, move their forces to Numidia; Cato to Utica and Scipio to Thapsus, a couple days travel away.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Julius Caesar, along with his vast army, have now come to Northern Africa looking for vengeance.

Cato must decide to stand for what he believes in the face of death.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Cato is without much hope, but not alone. He does have Juba, the prince of Numidia and Lucius, a senatorial ally by his side.

It is a challenging situation for even a rigid, Stoic as Cato.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
