A History of Violence: Attila The Gathering of The Storm

May 14, 2007

Today is election day for senators and congressmen in the Philippines which means that is a holiday too. Thus, I have finally come around to reading the books with so-so looking covers. I admit I am a real cover racist.

I think I would have read Attila sooner than later if it was completely covered in blood with a cowhide texture or at least the spears were covered in blood.

Anyhoo, I am jumping on board the book now and enthused with the prologue as it writes

For Scripture warns us that man is born to sorrow as the sparks fly upward. And exceptional men are born to exeptional sorrow.

These lines really got me warmed up for the ride but this historical reimagining of the Viking Attila The Hun's battle against Rome is still growing on me. It is because I am currently on sedate mode now. I can't take the violence and the testosterone charged descriptions seriously. However, if you like the movie 300, I think Attila's name Scourge of God gives you a fairly accurate description of what you are getting into. It will be anything but pretty.

Below is a little more from the prologue..

Attila's return from the haunted wilderness, and the blood darkned day on which he made himself king…..To turn upon the Empire of Rome, that hated Empire which had tormented his boyhood, destroyed his youth, and humiliated his people during the long years of his exile. To make all ready for his long-meditated and apocalyptic vengance.

Awwww.. Ain't that sweet?
