Agrippa: The thrilling new novel set in Ancient Rome from the bestselling author of Conclave
"Brought to you by Penguin. The Sunday Times number one bestselling author returns to Ancient Rome in his latest thriller – coming August 2026. Julius Caesar is dead, and the lives of two teenaged boys are about to be changed forever. One is Caesar’s 17-year-old nephew, Octavius, whom he has made his heir. The other is Octavius’s closest friend, Agrippa. To claim Octavius’s inheritance, they must fight the giant figures of the Roman Empire – and, against all odds, they win. Octavius becomes the Emperor Augustus. For twenty years, they rule the world together. Now Agrippa is fifty. Ailing and alone, betrayed by his wife’s infidelity, he takes refuge in his house on the Bay of Naples and begins to write his memoirs. Yet to stir up the past can be dangerous. From his earliest meetings with Julius Caesar, through the epic conflict with Mark Antony and Cleopatra, the great naval battle of Actium and the endless wars to expand the empire, he describes how one man has dominated his life: the cunning, ruthless, unknowable Octavius. When it comes to power, does friendship exist at all? 'A master storyteller' OBSERVER 'The king of the page-turning thriller' i PAPER 'Harris's cleverness, judgment and eye for detail are second to none' SUNDAY TIMES 'Harris writes with a skill and ingenuity that few other novelists can match' FINANCIAL TIMES 'A master of historical fiction' TLS © Robert Harris 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026"

"Quand une idylle met en péril la sécurité nationale... Maître du thriller historique, Robert Harris nous plonge au cœur de l'une des affaires les plus confidentielles de la Première Guerre mondiale, qui a bouleversé le cours de l'Histoire. Londres, été 1914. Venetia Stanley, jeune aristocrate proche de Churchill, vit une liaison clandestine avec le Premier ministre, Herbert Henry Asquith. Séduit par sa beauté et sa fougue, Asquith voit aussi en Venetia une conseillère hors pair pour analyser les affaires d'État les plus sensibles, qu'il lui rapporte dans des lettres quotidiennes ou au cours de balades intimes en voiture. Mais tandis que l'Irlande est au bord de la guerre civile et que l'Europe s'apprête à prendre les armes contre l'Allemagne, un jeune officier du renseignement enquête sur une fuite de documents top secret... qui l'entraîne inexorablement vers la jeune maîtresse du Premier ministre. Intrigante en quête de pouvoir ou victime désignée du dilettantisme d'un homme d'État : qui est réellement Venetia Stanley ?"

"Un thriller con un ritmo y un suspense perfectamente ensamblados, sobre la celebración del cónclave en el que se elegirá al próximo Sumo Pontífice de la Iglesia Católica. El libro en el que se basa la película homónima de Edward Berger. El Papa ha muerto. En la Capilla Sixtina, a puerta cerrada, ciento dieciocho cardenales procedentes de todos los rincones del globo emitirán su voto en la elección más secreta del mundo. Son hombres de fe. Pero tienen ambiciones. Y rivales. En las próximas setenta y dos horas uno de ellos se convertirá en el líder espiritual con más poder de la tierra. Cónclave fue elegido uno de los mejores libros de 2016 por The Sunday Times y Observer. La crítica ha dicho: «Apasionante, la versión eclesiástica de House of Cards.» The Times «No importa si crees en Dios, en la Iglesia o en nada, Cónclave te resultará enormemente entretenida.» The Washington Post «El Papa ha muerto y los cardenales se reúnen para elegir a su sucesor. El escenario está preparado para un enfrentamiento en este espléndido retrato del poder, la corrupción y el engaño.» The Guardian «Un relato sobre las maquinaciones a más alto nivel dentro de la Iglesia católica. Un libro fascinante.» The New York Times «Robert Harris logra que el mecanismo del suspense funcione como un reloj en este hábil relato sobre intrigas vaticanas.» Financial Times «Una novela que explora el poder, la gloria y las argucias del proceso de elección de un nuevo Papa, por el autor de bestsellers más brillante de la actualidad.» Esquire «Es un thriller, sí, pero un thriller inusual y distinto, y la clave de su éxito es la extraordinaria galería de personajes. Me cautivó. Posee un ritmo perfecto y una intriga constante y cada vez más emocionante. Su punto de partida es un tema absolutamente secreto y desvela los entresijos. Sin duda, para mí una de las mejores novelas del año.» For winter nights. A bookish blog"

"Londra, estate 1914. Mentre l'Europa si avvicina inesorabilmente alla Prima guerra mondiale, Venetia Stanley, un'affascinante giovane donna dell'alta società londinese, intrattiene un fitto carteggio con il primo ministro Herbert Asquith, un uomo sposato con più del doppio dei suoi anni. Venetia è la sua amante clandestina, la sua unica confidente sulle questioni di Stato e, nelle appassionate lettere che i due innamorati si scambiano quasi quotidianamente, Asquith la mette al corrente di informazioni confidenziali sul futuro dell'Europa e di telegrammi diplomatici di estrema riservatezza. Fino a che una grave fuga di documenti sensibili e il conseguente rischio di violazione della sicurezza nazionale non mettono in allarme le alte cariche governative. Paul Deemer, un giovane agente dei servizi segreti, viene ingaggiato per avviare un'indagine in merito. Non ci vuole molto perché Deemer risalga alla relazione tra Asquith e Venetia, e quindi a un loro possibile coinvolgimento nella vicenda. Ciò che da principio appare un semplice scandalo amoroso si trasforma rapidamente in un affaire ad alto rischio, in grado di cambiare per sempre il corso degli eventi. Intrecciando fatti realmente accaduti a un magistrale racconto di finzione, Robert Harris fa rivivere con estrema accuratezza uno dei momenti cruciali della storia in un thriller ad alta tensione, dove un'ossessione privata arriva a minacciare il destino di un paese. contributori LE Francesco De Marco"

"Luglio 1660. Due uomini dalle barbe incolte e i vestiti ricoperti di salsedine approdano sulle sponde del Massachusetts. Si tratta del colonnello Edward Whalley e di suo genero, il colonnello William Goffe. Sono in fuga, ricercati per l'omicidio di re Carlo I, un'esecuzione clamorosa che ha segnato il culmine della guerra civile inglese, durante la quale letruppe parlamentari hanno combattuto con successo contro i realisti per il controllo del paese. Ma ora, dieci anni dopo la decapitazione di Carlo, i realisti sono tornati al potere. In base alle disposizioni dell'Atto di oblio, i cinquantanove uomini che hanno firmato la condanna a morte del re e hanno partecipato alla sua esecuzione sono stati giudicati colpevoli di alto tradimento. Alcuni di loro, tra cui Oliver Cromwell, sono già morti. Altri sono stati catturati, impiccati, e squartati. Alcuni sono stati imprigionati a vita. Ma due sono fuggiti in America per nave. A Londra, Richard Nayler, funzionario della commissione del Consiglio privato istituita per arrestare i regicidi, è incaricato di consegnare i traditori alla giustizia e si mette sulle loro tracce. Uno stretto legame col passato lo spinge verso questa caccia instancabile: non avrà pace finché non li avrà presi. Ha inizio così un inseguimento che attraversa due continenti, per portare a termine un atto di giustizia e insieme di vendetta personale. Con Oblio e perdono, primo romanzo storico di Robert Harris ambientato prevalentemente in America, l'autore ricostruisce brillantemente e con una narrazione incalzante la più grande caccia all'uomo del Diciassettesimo secolo, e racconta un'epica storia vera sulla religione, la vendetta e il potere, trasportando il lettore in uno dei periodi più tumultuosi della storia inglese. contributori TR Annamaria Raffo LE Francesco De Marco"

"Novembre 1944. L'ingegnere tedesco Rudi Graf si trova in una cupa cittadina sulla costa olandese occupata dai nazisti per sovrintendere al lancio dei missili V2 su Londra. Nessuno meglio di lui conosce quelle macchine mortali. Fin da bambino ha sognato di inviare un razzo sulla luna. Invece, con il suo amico Wernher von Braun, ha contribuito alla creazione di quest'arma sofisticatissima, capace con la sua testata da una tonnellata di viaggiare a tre volte la velocità del suono. Disilluso e preoccupato, Graf deve obbedire: Hitler ha ordinato la fabbricazione di diecimila missili e nessuno può fermare il suo tentativo disperato di evitare la sconfitta. Kay Caton-Walsh, ausiliaria dell'aeronautica militare britannica, è scampata per poco all'orrore dell'esplosione di uno di questi brutali strumenti di terrore civile e, armata solo di un regolo calcolatore e delle tavole dei logaritmi, partecipa con altre donne a una missione in Belgio, da poco liberato dai tedeschi, finalizzata a localizzare e distruggere le basi di lancio dei V2. In una corsa contro il tempo, le vicende dei due protagonisti viaggiano in parallelo su fronti opposti. Ma in guerra è difficile capire di chi ti puoi fidare. In questo nuovo romanzo ricco di dettagli storici, personaggi reali e grande atmosfera, Robert Harris torna a raccontare al lettore una delle pagine meno esplorate della Seconda guerra mondiale. contributori LE Francesco De Marco"

Song of a Nation: The Untold Story of Canada's National Anthem
"The greatest story never told, this formidable and gorgeously written biography documents the amazing and controversial short life of Calixa Lavallée--the composer of 'O Canada'--and the tumult of 19th-century North America. The story of 'O Canada' is one of the great unknowns of our collective lives. No longer. This formidable and gorgeously written tale documents the history of this song of a nation, from its origins in French Canada in the years just after Confederation to the surprisingly controversial story of its adoption as Canada's national anthem a hundred years later. Song of a Nation is also the extraordinary and mysterious story of Calixa Lavallée--the anthem's French-Canadian composer--and his compelling, almost unbelievable personal journey: his early life as a blackface minstrel, travelling throughout the United States for more than a decade; his service for the Union Army in the American Civil War; his production of the first opera in Quebec; and, in a final act, becoming a leading figure in American music education. To understand 'O Canada,' and to understand the man who wrote it, is to return to the Canada of the mid-1800s, just forming as a nation, bringing together ancient racial hatreds and novel political possibilities. More than just a song, in its own story 'O Canada' evokes the history of a country creating an identity for itself out of the unique forces and rivalries of French and English Canada, and looking to the infinite possibilities that lay ahead."
