Cicero     (Marcus Tullius,  106–43     BC), Roman lawyer, orator, politician,   and   philosopher, of  whom we   know   more than of any other Roman,   lived   through the  stirring era   that 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,   fifty-eight  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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49730075885841,"sku":"NGR9780674994447","price":37.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49796162552081,"sku":"CIN0674994442G","price":19.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50412017156369,"sku":"GOR005960804","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51724509348113,"sku":"CIN0674994442VG","price":19.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52772932976913,"sku":"GOR011594079","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0674994442.jpg?v=1778581082","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/rhetorica-ad-herennium-book-cicero-9780674994447","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
