The TimesWITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR'Laws 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 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\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\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":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57286669205877,"sku":"9781786332929","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781786332929","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
