Norman Geras' blog Rose contributed a piece to Norman Geras' long-running Writer's Choice series, in which he asks a writer (novelist, essayist, poet, etc.) to comment on a book that has influenced him or her. Rose opted for Stanley Weyman's superb Count Hannibal, which takes place during the French Wars of Religion.
