The Wonderer
I have read many of Mika Waltari's books, and I wouldn't be able to decide which is the best. When you are reading any of the books, you feel as if you were part of the story, and even though it is fiction you learn much about that historical period. I would make his books a must in high school.

Marcus, a wealthy and distinquished Roman, arrives in Jerusalem just in time to witness Jesus Christ being crucified outside city gates. He is marvelled by the death of this suffering man: Who was he? Was he really the son of the Israeli God? ...

FABULOUS!!!!!
If you enjoy historical fiction, look no further; this is the one for you. Set in Europe between 1508 and 1525, you will find yourself learning a great deal of its history while reading one terrific story. Everything I looked up in the World Book from Waltari's portrayal was true. I am soooo sorry to have finished it. But good news; there is a sequel, "The Wanderer", which I immediately ...

One of the best history novels out there.
I have read this book when i was about 16. I read the book in Czech and it was incredible. Why is it out of print!? I wanted to buy an English copy for my friends to read! Bring it back! More people should read this book, its a gem.

Tales by Mika Waltari
That's a book of tales by Mika Waltari. There are four tales: The Tree of Dreams, Never a Tomorrow, Fine van Brooklyn [and] Something in People. Those of you who have read the historical romances (The Etruscan, The Egyptian: A Novel, The Secret of the Kingdom, The Roman, Wanderer etc.) of this remarkable Finnish writer should be able to understand why I simply had to have this other book by ...

Simply, LIFE
This book was suggested to me by a cardiologist before embarking on a career in medicine. It is very deep and talks to your soul about the human condition, and what we share in common. It is hard to walk away from reading this book and not be more reflective and humble. I can see where my friend thought this would be instructive before embarking on a medical career. By the way, cherish when ...

Good Historical Fiction
Mika Waltari always produced an excellent story. I have read all his works several times over since my school days. Great historical fiction like this stands the test of time. This book is as good as his eqytian and etruscan books.

Wickedly funny!
What is Mika Waltari up to in THE ROMAN? There is a very dry Finnish sense of humor at play here, exploiting the ironies of a narrator who is an utter moral vaccum, unable to perceive the truth of anything going on around him. Put such a cipher in the poisonous milieu of Poppaea, Agrippina, Tigellinus, et. al, and watch out! When our "hero" is charged by Nero with devising "entertainments" ...
