Built on the backs
of those who fell
before it, Julius
Caesar’s
imperial
dynasty is only as
strong as the next
person who seeks to
control it. In the
Roman Empire, no
one is safe from the
sting of betrayal:
man, woman — or
child.
Young Nero’s royal heritage becomes a
threat to his very life, first when the mad
emperor Caligula tries to drown him, then
when his great-aunt attempts to secure her
own son’s inheritance. Faced with shocking
acts of treachery, Nero is dealt a harsh les-
son: it is better to be cruel than dead.
While Nero idealizes the artistic and ath-
letic principles of Greece, his very survival
rests on his ability to navigate the sea of
vipers that is Rome. The most lethal of all is
Nero’s own mother, a cold-blooded woman
whose singular goal is to control the empire.
Through her cunning and poison, the obsta-
cles fall one by one.
But as Agrippina’s machinations earn her
son a title he is both tempted and terrified to
assume, Nero’s determination to escape her
thrall will shape him into the man he is fated
to become — a legendary emperor.
With impeccable research and captivating
prose, “The Confessions of Young Nero” is
the story of a boy’s ruthless ascension to the
throne. Detailing his journey from innocent
youth to infamous ruler, “The Confessions of
Young Nero” is an epic tale of the lengths to
which man will go in the ultimate quest for
power and survival.

C OVERED B RIDGES OF O REGON
Jerry Russell from the Covered Bridge
Society of Oregon will be at the library on
Saturday, July 15, at 1 p.m., discussing the
covered bridges of Oregon.
Russell is a state expert in covered bridges,
and Oregon features the largest collection of
them in the West.
The heyday of covered bridge building in
Oregon occurred between 1905 and 1925
when there were an estimated 600 covered
bridges in the state.
By 1977, this number had dwindled to 56.
The Society, of which Russell is the vice-pres-
ident, works to ensure that Oregon's covered
bridges will be preserved for future genera-
tions. Members work with legislators, local
governments, news organizations and histori-
cal societies to provide funding, maintenance
and protection to save the state's roofed
bridges.
To go along with this program, the library is
pleased to present a photograph display, “The
Covered Bridges of Lane County,” taken by
the library’s own Mary Colgan-Bennetts.
