Tudor is the youngest son of two servants at the court of a great boyar of backward Wallachia. Since his birth, his ambition seems to guide his every step, and in his arduous rise to power he will not hesitate to leave his path strewn with corpses. King Solomon, the Queen of Sheba, John Lennon's great-grandfather, General Napier and Queen Victoria intersect in his story. Tudor will be Theodoros: bandit and pirate, devout sinner, the terror of the seas of Hellas. He will live in forests and monasteries, witness battles and miracles, and eventually become Tewodros: the ruthless Emperor of Emperors, absolute ruler of Abyssinia. Theodoros constitutes an exercise of pure creative freedom in a torrential, free, exuberant narrative, the culmination of an absolutely epic work.
