Description

Cicero's Consolation: A New Translation of a Timeless Masterpiece In 45 BCE, Cicero's life was forever changed by the loss of his daughter, Tullia. From the depths of despair, he found solace in writing a speech that would help him cope with his grief. This groundbreaking work, a fusion of philosophy and motivational speech, has been rediscovered and translated for the first time in 250 years. Cicero's Consolation is a searching exploration of grief, loss, and resilience. Drawing on the full range of Greek philosophy and Roman history, Cicero argues that death and loss are part of life, and that with endurance and fortitude, we can overcome them. This translation, complete with the original Latin on facing pages, brings Cicero's thought and spirit to life, offering a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of one of life's greatest challenges. With Michael Fontaine's engaging translation, Cicero's Consolation is once again available to readers, offering a unique and profound perspective on the human experience.
