More on Spartacus
Description from Wikipedia:
Spartacus is a 1951 historical novel written by Howard Fast. It is about the slave revolt led by Spartacus. The book inspired the 1960 film directed by Stanley Kubrick and the 2004 TV adaptation by Robert Dornhelm.
The novel changes between third-person omniscient past and present tenses. The novel's narrative structure is that several Roman aristocrats (Crassus, Gracchus, Caius, and Cicero) meet, in the past tense, to relate tales of the events in Spartacus's life and uprising. The tales are told in the present tense directly by the narrator, with details going far and beyond the Romans' possible knowledge and today's known historical facts. The story of Spartacus in the novel evidently diverges from what is known about him in order to enhance the theme of the novel.
The novel's central theme is that man's most basic universal values are freedom, love, hope, and finally life itself. Oppression and slavery strip these away from man until the oppressed have nothing to lose by uprising. Oppressive systems are held together by political systems. Spartacus stands as an eternal symbol of how man must fight against political systems that oppress man's values:
A time would come when Rome would be torn down--not by the slaves alone, but by slaves and serfs and peasants and by free barbarians who joined with them.
And so long as men labored, and other men took and used the fruit of those who labored, the name of Spartacus would be remembered, whispered sometimes and shouted loud and clear at other times.
