'One of the great triumphs of contemporary historical literature.' 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.The extraordinary life that unfolds between these two episodes is recounted by Cicero's private secretary, 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.More 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.

Это последний бестселлер Р. Харриса полон загадок и интриг. Многие его романы были экранизированы

Míroví vyjednavači, kteří trpělivě hledají východisko z dlouholeté bezvýchodné arabsko-izraelské krize na Středním východě, stojí krůček od úspěchu. Dvě násilná a zdánlivě spolu nesouvisející úmrtí - profesora Šimona Guttmana, domnělého atentátníka na izraelského ministerskéhopředsedu, a archeologa Ahmeda Noura, domnělého kolaboranta s Izraelci - však zhatí jakékoli naděje na smírné řešení konfliktu. Americká vláda sáhne po svém posledním trumfu a vyšle do Tel Avivu bývalou excelentní vyjednavačku Maggie Costellovou. Ta je však záhy vtažena do pátrání po příčínách obou úmrtí a zjistí - i za pomoci oblíbené počítačové on-line hry Second Life -, že mezi oběma zavražděnými, byť každý z nich patřil do opačného tábora, existovalo pevné osobní i profesní pouto, a že jejich smrti předcházelo objevení něčeho, co by mohlo mít pro urovnání nesmiřitelného sváru arabského a izraelského národa zásadní význam. Veřejné odhalení tohoto objevu nesmírné historické hodnoty však není v zájmu všech zúčastněných.

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, Clodius an ambitious playboy.

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.

T̀he moment I heard how McAra died I should have walked away. I can see that now.' The narrator of Robert Harris's gripping new novel is a professional ghostwriter - cynical, mercenary, and with a nice line in deadpan humour. Accustomed to working with fading rock stars and minor celebrities, he jumps at the chance to ghost the memoirs of Britain's former prime minister, especially as it means flying to the American resort of Martha's Vineyard in the middle of winter and finishing the book in the seclusion of a luxurious house.

Marcus Cicéron se distingue comme l'une des figures les plus captivantes de l'histoire romaine. Avocat brillant, orateur et philosophe, il entre dans le périlleux domaine de la politique romaine à seulement vingt-sept ans, aspirant à atteindre l'imperium, la plus haute autorité de l'État. Son parcours est étroitement accompagné de son fidèle secrétaire, Tiro, inventeur de la sténographie et auteur d'une biographie aujourd'hui perdue de Cicéron. Robert Harris réinvente habilement le travail de Tiro pour raconter de manière vivante l'ascension de Cicéron, d'un jeune avocat radical au premier citoyen de Rome, naviguant dans un paysage rempli de rivaux redoutables comme Pompée, César, Crassus et Caton. Ce récit se déroule dans un monde à la fois exotique et familier, marqué par les intrigues du Sénat, la corruption électorale et les menaces à la liberté d'expression au milieu des conflits militaires. Harris dépeint Cicéron comme un outsider—ambitieux, vulnérable, intelligent et compatissant, mais souvent sournois—incarnant l'essence du premier homme politique professionnel. Il souligne les éléments intemporels de la politique : l'éloquence, la stratégie et la manipulation publique, établissant des parallèles qui résonnent au-delà de la Rome antique. La fascination de Harris pour Cicéron reflète la nature universelle des dynamiques politiques, les comparant à un sport où Cicéron émerge comme le professionnel ultime.
