Creation

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 isn’t a page of CREATION that doesn’t inform and very few pages that do not delight."
— John Leonard, The New York Times
