One of the great triumphs of contemporary historical literature. The TimesWITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHORLaws are silent in times of war. CiceroOne of the great epics of political and historical fiction, The Cicero Trilogy charts the career of the Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero from his midtwenties as an ambitious young lawyer to his dramatic death more than thirty years later, pursued by an assassination squad on a clifftop path.The extraordinary life that unfolds between these two episodes is recounted by Ciceros private secretary, Tiro the law cases and the speeches that made his masters name the elections and conspiracies he fought the rivals who contended for power around him Pompey, Crassus, Cato, Clodius, Catalina, and, most menacingly, Caesar and, at the heart of it all, the complex personality of Cicero himself brilliant, cunning, duplicitous, anxious, brave, and always intensely humane.More than ten years in the writing, and now published in a single volume for the first time, The Cicero Trilogy brings the world of the Roman republic vividly to life. Here is its grandeur, ambition and corruption and here is its tumultuous collapse into dictatorship and anarchy a story of the fragility of democratic institutions that holds a warning for our own time.
