Description

Cicero: Selected Political Speeches by Marcus Tullius Cicero In the tumultuous final years of the Roman Republic, Cicero delivered speeches that would become iconic for their eloquence and passion. This collection brings together some of his most stirring orations, including his defense of liberty against the Catiline conspiracy and his attacks on Mark Anthony in the Philippics. These speeches not only provide a glimpse into the cut and thrust of Roman politics but also reveal why Cicero's writings have had such a lasting impact on prose and politics. First published by Penguin, this edition features a modern translation that makes Cicero's words accessible to readers today. With its introduction and notes by distinguished scholars, this Penguin Classic offers a authoritative text that is enhanced by the expertise of contemporary authors and translators. With over 1,700 titles to its name, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. This edition of Cicero's Selected Political Speeches is a valuable addition to the series, providing readers with a unique insight into the life and thought of one of history's most influential figures.
