具体描述

Cicero (Marcus Tullius, 106-43 BCE), Roman lawyer, orator, politician and philosopher, of whom we know more than of any other Roman, lived through the stirring era which saw the rise, dictatorship, and death of Julius Caesar in a tottering republic. In his political speeches especially and in his correspondence we see the excitement, tension and intrigue of politics and the part he played in the turmoil of the time. Of about 106 speeches, delivered before the Roman people or the Senate if they were political, before jurors if judicial, 58 survive (a few of them incompletely). In the fourteenth century Petrarch and other Italian humanists discovered manuscripts containing more than 900 letters of which more than 800 were written by Cicero and nearly 100 by others to him. These afford a revelation of the man all the more striking because most were not written for publication. Six rhetorical works survive and another in fragments. Philosophical works include seven extant major compositions and a number of others; and some lost. There is also poetry, some original, some as translations from the Greek. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Cicero is in twenty-nine volumes.

用户评价

坦白说，起初我对这本书并没有抱有太高的期待，以为会是枯燥乏味的学术论述。然而，当我真正投入阅读后，才发现自己错得离谱。这本书的叙事风格简直是一绝，作者仿佛一位技艺高超的说书人，将枯燥的理论编织成一个个引人入胜的故事，让我欲罢不能。他善于在宏大的历史背景下，捕捉那些细微的人性刻画，让那些曾经遥远的人物鲜活起来。我常常在阅读时，仿佛置身于那个时代，亲眼见证着那些波澜壮阔的事件，感受到人物内心的挣扎与抉择。作者对细节的把握极其精准，每一个场景的描绘，每一个对话的设计，都充满了匠心。而且，他并不回避复杂性和矛盾性，而是将它们坦诚地展现在读者面前，引导我们去思考事件的多重维度。这种叙事方式，不仅让阅读变得轻松有趣，更重要的是，它深刻地影响了我对历史和人性的理解。这本书让我明白，伟大的思想并非空中楼阁，而是根植于鲜活的现实与复杂的人性之中。

对于我而言，这本书更像是一本人生指南，充满了智慧与启迪。作者用一种极其平和却又异常深刻的语调，探讨着生命中最本质的问题。他提出的观点，并没有那种高高在上的说教感，反而像是一位慈祥的长者，循循善诱地引导你进行自我反思。我特别喜欢他对于“选择”的阐述，那种对个体自由意志的强调，让我重新审视了自己在生活中的每一个决定，以及这些决定所带来的深远影响。书中关于“价值”的论述，也让我受益匪浅，它帮助我重新梳理了自己的人生目标和追求，让我更加清晰地认识到什么对自己才是真正重要的。我经常在遇到困惑时，翻阅这本书，它总能给我提供一个新的视角，让我看到问题的不同侧面，从而找到更合适的解决方案。这本书不是那种读完就丢弃的书，而是会让你想要反复阅读，每一次阅读都能从中汲取新的养分。它就像一面镜子，照出我内心的真实，也指引我成为更好的自己。

这本书的封面设计就深深吸引了我。那种古朴的字体，搭配上一种略显深沉却又不失力量感的背景色，仿佛直接将人带回了那个充满哲思与激情的年代。翻开书页，首先映入眼帘的是一种精心编排的排版，字里行间透着一种郑重其事的态度，让人在阅读之前就感受到一种仪式感。我尤其喜欢它纸张的触感，那种微微泛黄的质感，在指尖滑过时带来一种温润的享受，仿佛握住的不仅仅是一本书，更是一段历史的沉淀。而书中那些细致入微的脚注和注释，更是让我对作者的严谨和用心赞叹不已。它们不是简单地罗列资料，而是像一位学识渊博的朋友，在你困惑时适时地伸出援手，引导你深入理解文本背后的深意。我曾花费不少时间去研究那些脚注，从中发现了许多意想不到的联系和更为广阔的知识领域，这无疑极大地丰富了我对这本书的认知体验。我还会时不时地合上书，静静地回味刚刚读到的内容，那种被知识的洪流所裹挟，又被智慧的光芒所照亮的满足感，是我在其他阅读体验中难以寻觅的。这本书的出版，对于那些真正热爱知识、渴望深度思考的读者来说，无疑是一份厚礼。

我不得不说，这本书的阅读过程，更像是一场智力的探险。作者巧妙地设置了层层递进的论点，每一步都如同在复杂的迷宫中寻找出口，引人入胜。起初，我被其宏大的叙事和深刻的洞察所吸引，但随着阅读的深入，我发现作者的逻辑推理是如此严谨，仿佛一道道精密的设计，将我的思维牢牢地锁住，又带领我一步步走向真理的彼岸。那些精辟的论述，常常让我停下脚步，反复咀嚼，试图理解其背后所蕴含的哲学思辨。作者运用了大量精心挑选的词汇，每一处用词都恰到好处，既能传达出准确的含义，又能引发读者更深层次的联想。我尤其欣赏他在阐述复杂概念时，那种化繁为简的功力，将原本高深莫测的理论，用生动形象的比喻娓娓道来，让我这样的普通读者也能领略其中的精髓。这本书对我的最大的影响，可能在于它重塑了我思考问题的方式。我开始更加注重证据链的完整性，更加审视自己思维中的盲点，也更加敢于挑战既有的观念。这是一次令人激动且受益匪浅的思想洗礼。

这本书带给我的，是一种久违的宁静与力量。在如今这个信息爆炸、节奏飞快的时代，能有一本如此厚重、如此引人深思的作品，实属不易。我通常会在夜深人静的时候翻开它，在柔和的灯光下，伴随着一杯温热的饮品，静静地与作者进行一场跨越时空的对话。书中的那些语句，时而如潺潺流水，滋润心田；时而如惊涛拍岸，振聋发聩。我喜欢作者那种沉稳而富有感染力的笔调，他似乎总能捕捉到人心深处最微妙的情感，并用最恰当的文字将其表达出来。每当我感到迷茫或沮丧时，翻阅这本书中的某个章节，总能从中获得一种莫名的慰藉和前行的勇气。它不是那种能给你直接答案的书，而是通过引导，让你自己去寻找答案，去发现内心的力量。这本书让我重新认识到，真正的智慧往往蕴藏在平静的思考之中，而最深刻的改变，也源于内在的觉醒。它是一盏灯，照亮我前行的路；它是一剂良药，疗愈我内心的创伤。
