The Ides of March by Thornton Wilder This epistolary novel brings to life a dramatic period of world history, focusing on the months leading up to Julius Caesar's death. Through imaginary letters and documents, Wilder humanizes Caesar, revealing him as a complex individual to his family, legions, Rome, and empire. Wilder's inventive narrative weaves together the lives of Romans from different walks of life, including those from the slums, villas, and palaces. The result is a vivid and engaging portrayal of ancient Rome, showcasing Wilder's unique storytelling genius. This special edition includes an afterword by Wilder's nephew, Tappan Wilder, providing illuminating documentary material about the novelist and story.
