Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Conspirata (Cicero #2)

Cicero returns to continue his struggle to grasp supreme power in the state of Rome. Amidst treachery, vengeance, violence, and treason, this brilliant lawyer, orator, and philosopher finally reaches the summit of all his ambitions. Cicero becomes known as the world's first professional politician, using his compassion, and deviousness, to overcome all obstacles. - Compelling historical fiction at its best: Harris employs historical detail and an engrosing plot to give readers a man who is by turns a sympathetic hero and compromising manipulator who sets himself up for his own massive, violent ruin. This trilogy charges forward, propelled by the strength of Harris's stunningly fascinating prose. - Internationally bestselling author: "Imperium" was hailed as "quite possibly Harris's most accomplished work to date" ( "Los Angeles Times" ) and has received rave reviews from across the globe. Robert Harris's novels have sold more than 10 million copies and have been translated into thirty-seven languages.

Judge Regarding Books Conspirata (Cicero #2)

Well I was very excited to see this book and that Imperium was not meant to be standalone and is instead first in a series (going to guess that there might be one or most likely two more books left to go), since my main complaint with Imperium was that I wanted more. It took me a while to get into this one, the sequel, which is unusual for me when it comes to Robert Harris. Not sure what it was that mildly irked me--I think he was taking steps to humanize Tiro more and make him a character than

Lustrum shows a master writer at work.The second book in a trilogy, it clearly establishes Robert Harris as one of the two great pillars of Roman historical fiction writing. Whats especially gratifying is that the other, Colleen McCollough, approaches the story from a completely different angle in her excellent Masters of Rome series.So where she has Caesar as the protagonist and Cicero as an antagonist, Robert Harris tells the story of the fall of the Roman Republic very much from Ciceros point

I have read and thoroughly enjoyed other books by Robert Harris ... but not this one ... what I found here were far too many characters, little foundation for understanding the complicated norms and practices of Rome, and no cohesion to the story ... I was lost and did not finish ... sorry ... I think most people liked this

4 Stars - Fantastic book!I hadn't planned to read this book (sequel to Imperium: A Novel of Ancient Rome) so soon, but it just worked out that way. I found my copy (a new copy I might add) of this book at a book sale in my hometown for $1 and couldn't resist. Robert Harris didn't disappoint and dare I say, exceeded my expectations for the second book in this series.We pick up just about where Imperium left off. Tiro, Cicero's secretarial slave, once again narrates the life of his master and,

3,5 For those who enjoy reading about Cicero and the end of the Roman Republic. I thought my job was hard until I read about the job or a Roman consul.

This is the 3rd Robert Harris Historical Fiction I've read, and I'm becoming a huge fan. This book is rated 4.10 / 5.0 on GoodReads and is 464 pages.You don't have to enjoy history to love this book. The story pulls its own weight. That's what I enjoy about Harris' writing. This covers a time period of around 63BCE, when Cicero was Consul of Rome. This story is about the struggle of Cicero dealing with the triumvirate of Caesar, general Pompey and the super-rich Crassus. I'm not sure it's

This was a tricky read to rate. I loved it. I loved the perspective it was written from, a clever balance. But I struggled midway with the legalese and all the double dealings and back stabbing and the machinations of the Roman senators and consuls. Although it did very much remind me of what's happening in current affairs today!After I pushed through the hump, I began enjoying the story again, and finished it late last night.A fascinating insight (albeit fictional), into the life of Cicero, he
