De Romeinse trilogie Reeks

Deze serie duikt in de turbulente wateren van het oude Rome en beschrijft de opkomst en politieke machinaties van een van de meest iconische figuren uit de geschiedenis. Door de ogen van zijn loyale secretaris verken je de complexiteit van senatoriale strijd, electorale corruptie en constante bedreigingen voor de vrije meningsuiting. De verhalen portretteren een ambitieuze maar kwetsbare protagonist, wiens reis van radicale advocaat tot eerste burger van de staat vol strategische manoeuvres en publieke manipulatie zit. Deze boeiende saga vangt de tijdloze essentie van politiek, waarbij menselijke feilbaarheid en ambitie worden getoond in een omgeving die zowel vreemd als vertrouwd aanvoelt.

    It was Rome, 63 BC. In a city on the brink of acquiring a vast empire, seven men are struggling for power - Cicero is consul; Caesar, his ruthless young rival; Pompey, the republic's greatest general; Crassus, its richest man; Cato, a political fanatic; Catilina, a psychopath; and, Clodius, an ambitious playboy.

    Aged 48, Marcus Cicero, the greatest orator of his time, is to all appearances a broken man. Out of power, exiled to the eastern Mediterranean with his faithful secretary, Tiro, separated from his wife and children, his possessions confiscated, he spends his days tormented by his failure. But, to quote one of his own famous aphorisms: 'while there's life there's hope'. By promising to support his political enemy, Caesar, he manages to win his return to Italy. Once home, he gradually fights his way back: first in the law courts, then in the senate, and finally by the power of his pen, until at last, for one brief and glorious period, he is once again the dominant figure in Rome. The long-awaited final volume of Robert Harris's Cicero Trilogy, DICTATOR encompasses some of the most epic events in human history: the collapse of the Roman republic, the subsequent civil war, the murder of Pompey and the assassination of Julius Caesar. Its theme, however, is timeless: how is political freedom to be safeguarded against the triple threats of unscrupulous personal ambition, of an electoral system dominated by vested financial interests, and of the corrupting impact of waging ceaseless foreign wars? But above all, it is the very human figure of Cicero, beset by family problems, which makes the story so compelling: brilliant, flawed, frequently fearful and yet ultimately brave - a hero for his time, and for ours.
