FICTION,BIOGRAPHICAL FICTION,DEWEY: 823.914, 496 pages. From the bestselling author of Pompeii comes the f irst volume in an exciting new trilogy set in ancient Rome - an i maginary biography of Cicero, Rome's first and greatest politicia n. Of all the great figures of Roman times, none was more fascin ating or attractive than Marcus Cicero. A brilliant lawyer and or ator, a famous wit and philosopher, he launched himself at the ag e of twenty-seven into the violent, treacherous world of Roman po litics. Cicero was determined to attain imperium, the supreme pow er in the state. Beside him at all times in his struggle to reach the top - the office of Consul - was his confidential secretary, Tiro. An accomplished man, Tiro was the inventor of shorthand an d the author of numerous books, including a famous life of Cicero , unfortunately lost in the Dark Ages. In Imperium, Robert Harri s recreates Tiro's vanished masterpiece, recounting in vivid deta il the story of Cicero's rise to power, from radical young lawyer to first citizen of Rome, competing with men such as Pompey, Cae sar, Crassus and Cato. Harris's Cicero is an immensely sympathe tic figure. In his introduction to this imaginary memoir, Taro st ates: Cicero was unique in the history of the Roman republic in t hat he pursued supreme power with no resources to help him apart from his own talent. All he had was his voice, and by sheer eff ort of will, he turned it into the most famous voice in the world . From the Hardcover edition.
