Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BCE) introduced Romans to the major
schools of Greek philosophy, forging a Latin conceptual vocabulary
that was entirely new. But for all the sophistication of his
thinking, it is perhaps for his political and oratorical career
that Cicero is best remembered. He was the nemesis of Catiline,
whose plot to overthrow the Republic he famously denounced to the
Senate. He was the selfless Consul who turned down the opportunity
to join Julius Caesar and Pompey in their ruling triumvirate with
Crassus. He was briefly Rome's leading man after Caesar's
assassination in 44 BCE. And he was the indecisive schemer whose
personal ambitions and bitter rivalry with Mark Antony led to his
own violent death in 43 BCE as an enemy of the state. In her
authoritative survey, Gesine Manuwald evokes the many faces of
Cicero, as well as his complexities and seeming contradictions. She
focuses on his major writings, allowing the great rhetorician to
speak for himself. Cicero's rich legacy is seen to endure in the
works of Plutarch and Quintilian as well as in the speeches of
Winston Churchill and Barack Obama.
