Viac o knihe
When Tiro, the confidential secretary and slave of a Roman senator, opens the door to a terrified stranger on a cold November morning, he unwittingly sets off a series of events that lead to a gripping courtroom drama. The stranger, a Sicilian, is a victim of the corrupt Roman governor, Verres. His master is Marcus Cicero, an ambitious young lawyer and captivating orator determined to achieve imperium, or supreme power in the state, at just twenty-seven. Among the great figures of the Roman world, Cicero stands out as particularly fascinating and charismatic. Tiro, the inventor of shorthand and author of a lost biography of Cicero, is always at his side. Written in Tiro's voice, this narrative re-creates his vanished masterpiece, vividly detailing Cicero's quest for glory as he competes with powerful figures like Pompey, Caesar, and Crassus. Robert Harris, a master of innovative historical fiction, immerses readers in a violent and treacherous world of Roman politics, filled with Senate intrigue, electoral corruption, and political adventurism, illustrating how one clever, compassionate, and vulnerable man fought to rise to the top.
