Cicero\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the great epics of political and historical fiction, The Cicero Trilogy charts the career of the Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero from his mid-twenties as an ambitious young lawyer to his dramatic death more than thirty years later, pursued by an assassination squad on a cliff-top path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe extraordinary life that unfolds between these two episodes is recounted by Cicero's private secretary, Tiro: the law cases and the speeches that made his master's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMore 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hutchinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52904474575157,"sku":"EB_LI0811_A11-02_DUBAI","price":217.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/7773\/1381\/files\/9781786332929-1.jpg?v=1789407960","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.ae\/products\/9781786332929","provider":"Books Kinokuniya UAE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
