## Description

Philosophical writings on “the good life” by the great Roman orator, in a vital new translation In the first century BC, Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman orator, statesman, and defender of republican values, created these philosophical treatises on such diverse and trenchant topics as friendship, religion, death, fate, and scientific inquiry. This lucid and lively new translation renders the great Roman’s writings accessible to modern readers as never before. Cicero was a pragmatist at heart, but his philosophies were frequently personal and ethical, drawn not from abstract reasoning but from careful observation of the world. The resulting work reminds us of the importance of social ties, the question of free will, and the justification of creative endeavor. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Review: Cicero - need we say more? - What I like best about the venerable Marcus Tullius is his modesty and his ideas of the divine - he speaks of the divinity of the Universe, something a lot closer to my heart than the perforated evolution of Darwin, like taking the machine apart and seeing how it ticks. The main essay is on Friendship, which he thinks is the best thing in life. Me? I think it is the icing on the cake, and our job is to cultivate our garden, a la Voltaire, so that we will have something to say to our friend (s).
Review: Great read, - Cisneros was a great orator so way ahead of the times. Great lessons to be learned.

I got interested in reading Cicero after a couple of quotes really hit home with me. Haven't finished the book yet but the translation is accessible and so far I am really liking it.
