This selection demonstrates the diversity of his writings, and includes letters to friends and statesmen on Roman life and politics; the vitriolic Second Philippic Against Antony; and, his two most famous philosophical treatises, "On Duties" and "On Old Age" - a celebration of his own declining years. Written at a time of brutal political and social change, Cicero's lucid ethical writings formed the foundation of the Western liberal tradition in political and moral thought that continues to this day. 81657 30 9 1960 Selected Works (Penguin Classics) total:122|5:36|4:41|3:33|2:11|1:1| 122 466 201 9 84596 0140440992 9780140440997 122 9 3.82 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171056389m/84596.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/84596.Selected_Works 5 1 false Sun Aug 10 19:15:27 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 10 19:15:27 -0700 2008 more...]]> 84596 0140440992 9780140440997 122 9 3.82 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171056389m/84596.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/84596.Selected_Works 3 0 false Wed Nov 19 16:03:13 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 28 16:01:09 -0800 2008 84596 0140440992 9780140440997 122 9 3.82 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171056389m/84596.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/84596.Selected_Works 0 0 false Sun Jan 11 17:41:43 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 17:42:00 -0800 2009 84596 0140440992 9780140440997 122 9 3.82 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171056389m/84596.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/84596.Selected_Works 2 0 false Thu Jul 24 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 15 16:17:44 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 20:07:42 -0700 2008 84596 0140440992 9780140440997 122 9 3.82 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171056389m/84596.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/84596.Selected_Works 4 0 false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Sep 27 21:24:08 -0700 2007 Tue Dec 25 12:29:38 -0800 2007 84596 0140440992 9780140440997 122 9 3.82 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171056389m/84596.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/84596.Selected_Works 4 0 false Thu Nov 20 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Mar 22 10:08:40 -0700 2007 Thu Nov 20 09:45:26 -0800 2008 "Letters" 3 stars
