Résumé
NATIONAL BESTSELLER . "An excellent introduction to a critical period in the history of Rome. Cicero comes across much as he must have lived: reflective, charming and rather vain."-The Wall Street Journal"All ages of the world have not produced a greater statesman and philosopher combined."-John Adams He squared off against Caesar and was friends with young Brutus. He advised the legendary Pompey on his botched transition from military hero to politician.
He lambasted Mark Antony and was master of the smear campaign, as feared for his wit as he was for his ruthless disputations. Brilliant, voluble, cranky, a genius of political manipulation but also a true patriot and idealist, Cicero was Rome's most feared politician, one of the greatest lawyers and statesmen of all times. In this dynamic and engaging biography, Anthony Everitt plunges us into the fascinating, scandal-ridden world of ancient Rome in its most glorious heyday-when senators were endlessly filibustering legislation and exposing one another's sexual escapades to discredit the opposition.
Accessible to us through his legendary speeches but also through an unrivaled collection of unguarded letters to his close friend Atticus, Cicero comes to life as a witty and cunning political operator, the most eloquent and astute witness to the last days of Republican Rome. Praise for Cicero" [Everitt makes] his subject-brilliant, vain, principled, opportunistic and courageous-come to life after two millennia."-The Washington Post" Gripping .
