'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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece of historical fiction
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2020

Reading the trilogy as a single extended novel I a marvellous experience. Cicero was lawyer, orator, philosopher and politician in the turbulent final years of the Roman republic. Harris beings him and his contemporaries to life through the imagined biography of his assistant and amanuensis Tiro, a slave who became a free man and (allegedly) lived to be 100. Tiro really did write such a work, now lost, but Cicero's recorded speeches. letters and other work remain. Harris has done a great service to Tiro and to Cicero through this brilliant recreation. Caesar, Pompey, Antony, numerous other men and women of the time step out of the pages and we are carried along through small details and great events. The story moves at pace but is full of telling observation and Harris uses his own experience in politics to draw fascinating parallels with modern politics and with the realities of political life in any society at any time. I loved this work, do give it a try!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cicero Trilogy: Like a time machine - a mirror to the past, a lens towards the future
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2018
Verified Purchase
Perhaps one of the most engaging, eye-opening and informative books I have read. Transported me into history and alluded to adages of: 'History repeating itself'; 'if you want to know the future, learn about the past'. Aside from our contemporary technological skin - humanity really has not changed a lot. Cicero by Robert Harris is like a mirror to ourselves - what we are, what we may become and what we might aspire towards. Highly readable, highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you're a fan of novels about the fall of the Roman Republic, then this is a must read.
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2021

The dying decades of the Republic are vividly brought to life as Harris weaves some literary magic centred on one of the late Republic's most noted politicians - Cicero.

Beautifully written with phenomenal attention to historical detail, Harris lays out, in fascinating detail, Cicero's career and the events that led to the birth of Imperial Rome.

Utterly brilliant and an absolute must read for those fascinated by Roman history.

Nice to read, very enjoyable. It’s a very interesting story nicely narrated. Not the most sophisticated novel in the world, but good enough for some holiday reading.

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2017

Te writing is fast and lively and both articulate and engrossing.
I thought at first that I was reading about a famous historical character from ancient Rome. I soon realised that I was reading about today's events and today's politicians, and about one of the best amanuensis depictions I have ever come across.

A great work of historical fiction, grounded in history. The trilogy takes you along the rise and fall of the greatest orator of the Roman Republic. I was swept away aling the tides of history.

It brings Cicero to life, though in the last book, I got fed up with him making his own trouble. He really should have shut up and just retired to the countryside earlier and write philosophy & teach. Great book would highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 20, 2023

Extremely well written; informative and exciting. Mr Harris presents a different perspective on a period of history previously dominated by Julius Caesar by writing through the eyes of a well educated slave who is a "secretary" to Cicero. It is not only Cicero who contributes our knowledge of the period but Tiro, his slave, who has so much to offer, particularly his shorthand, much of which is still used.

I have been reading Robert Harris and about Cicero for more than fifteen years. Started in school. And yet I only read this trilogy in 2020. To my shame. The books are so great that I wished that I had read them long ago.

The author does a good job in making us empathise with Cicero. When Cicero despairs, I despair. When Cicero is victorious, I feel jubilant. When Cicero tears up, I feel a lump in my throat.

For those who are having trouble keeping up with the story, the characters or the Roman socio-political system I would suggest using the excellent and thorough videos the YouTube channel Historia Civilis.
