This selection demonstrates the diversity of his writings, and includes letters to friends and statesmen on Roman life and politics; the vitriolic Second Philippic Against Antony; and his two most famous philosophical treatises, On Duties and On Old Age - a celebration of his own declining years. Written at a time of brutal political and social change, Cicero's lucid ethical writings formed the foundation of the Western liberal tradition in political and moral thought that continues to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis translation by Michael Grant conveys the elegance of Cicero's writings. His introduction describes their social and political background, while maps, genealogical charts, timelines and a glossary place the works in context.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMarcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC), Roman orator and statesman, was born at Arpinium to a wealthy local family. Having been educated in Rome, by 70 BC he had established himself as a leading barrister and was beginning a successful political career. Cicero received honours usually reserved only for the Roman aristocracy and was one of the greatest Roman orators.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIf you enjoyed Selected Works, you might like Suetonius' The Twelve Caesars, also available in Penguin Classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 8601300100951\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.8 x 5.0 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English, Latin\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66561548681520,"sku":"Trans_9780140440997","price":416.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81UMWJ0dzRL.jpg?v=1776443919","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/selected-works","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
