Select Letters

'Select Letters' Marci Tullii Ciceronis est collectio praestantissima epistularum quae non solum vitam ipsius oratoris sed etiam res gestas et conversionem rei publicae Romanae patefaciunt. Haec prima pars textum latinum integrum continet, quo lectores ingenium Ciceronis et eloquentiam eius in epistulis ad amicos, familiares, et viros principes datis perspicere possunt.Hic liber testimonium est certissimum de fine liberae rei publicae, ubi Ciceronis cura pro patria, dubitationes de rebus futuris, et consilia politica clare videntur. Epistulae ad Atticum, ad familiares, et ad Quintum fratrem scriptae peritiam scribendi et sinceritatem auctoris produnt, cum Cicero de rebus domesticis, de philosophia, et de periculis civilibus disputet. Philosophus, orator, et consul, Cicero per has paginas nobis apparet vir plenus humanitatis, cuius stilus fundamentum litterarum Latinarum factus est.Studiosis historiae antiquae et linguae Latinae, hoc volumen fontem primarium et necessarium praebet ad intellegendum animum unius ex maximis viris Romae antiquae. Epistulae in hoc opere selectae momentum historicum et litterarium maximum habent, quoniam non modo facta narrant, sed etiam affectus hominis in mediis turbis civilibus viventis conservant.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
