nové vydání klasické anglické četby 'Two things alone I long for: first, that when I die I may leave the
Roman people free...and second, that each person's fate may reflect the
way he has behaved towards his country.'
Cicero (106-43 BC)
was the greatest orator of the ancient world and a leading politician
of the closing era of the Roman republic. This book presents nine
speeches which reflect the development, variety, and drama of his
political career,among them two speeches from his prosecution of
Verres, a corrupt and cruel governor of Sicily; four speeches against
the conspirator Catiline; and the Second Philippic, the famous denunciation of Mark
Antony which cost Cicero his life. Also included are On the Command of Gnaeus Pompeius, in which he praises the military successes of Pompey, and For Marcellus, a panegyric in praise of the dictator Julius Caesar.
These
new translations preserve Cicero's rhetorical brilliance and achieve
new standards of accuracy. A general introduction outlines Cicero's
public career, and separate introductions explain the political
significance of each of the speeches. Together with its companion
volume, Defence Speeches, this edition provides an unparalleled sampling of Cicero's oratorical achievements.
