Description
The Cicero Trilogy by Robert Harris is a sweeping epic of political and historical fiction that charts the career of Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero from his mid-twenties as an ambitious young lawyer to his dramatic death more than thirty years later. The trilogy brings the world of the Roman republic vividly to life, revealing its grandeur, ambition and corruption, as well as its tumultuous collapse into dictatorship and anarchy. Through the eyes of Cicero's private secretary, Tiro, the trilogy recounts the law cases, speeches, elections, and conspiracies that shaped Cicero's life, as well as the complex personality of the man himself - brilliant, cunning, duplicitous, anxious, brave, and always intensely humane. This is a story of the fragility of democratic institutions that holds a warning for our own time. With a new introduction by the author, The Cicero Trilogy is a masterful work of historical fiction that holds a place alongside some of the greatest works of its kind.
