Non-fiction, this collection of letters by Marcus Tullius Cicero offers a unique personal view into the late Roman Republic. Addressed to friends and relatives, including his brother Quintus and friend Atticus, these letters reveal Cicero’s political concerns, private reflections, and responses to historical events. Rich in rhetorical elegance and psychological insight, the correspondence spans a period of intense instability. The BUR 2009 edition provides modern readers with contextual notes and accessible language, making it a valuable resource for students of Roman history, rhetoric, and classical epistolography.
