Gasparov Articles: Е. M. Staermann, M. L. Gasparov, A. I. Zelvenskaya Illustrations: François-Louis Schmid Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus (c. 69-140) was a famous Roman historian and writer, personal secretary to Pliny the Younger and Emperor Hadrian, and for a long time was the keeper of the state archives of Rome. His main work "The Lives of the Twelve Caesars" covers almost two centuries of Roman history and tells about the lives and deeds of the twelve first Roman emperors, beginning with Julius Caesar and ending with Domitian. The author is not so much interested in major political or military events as in the personalities of each of the emperors, about whom he provides many evocative details. Suetonius cares above all about the entertainment of the narrative, trying to be impartial in assessments and avoiding moralizing. Despite the ambiguous assessment of critics in different eras, the work of Suetonius at all times enjoyed success among readers and served as a source for many works of fiction. The book reproduces a series of illustrations by F.-L. Schmid, a famous representative of Art Deco, made by him for the French edition of 1928. ABOUT THE ARTIST The name of François-Louis Schmied (1873-1941) is inextricably linked with the genre of "artist's book", which flourished between the two world wars. Art Deco style, a kind of synthesis of neoclassicism and Art Nouveau, inspired artists to create works that combine rigor and luxury, geometric forms and sophistication.
