Marcus Tullius Cicero

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In "Against Verres," Marcus Tullius Cicero delivers a masterful set of speeches that embody the principles of Roman rhetoric while deftly critiquing the corrupt provincial governor, Gaius Verres. Written in 70 BCE, this work is a pivotal example of Roman oratory, highlighting Cicero's skillful use of pathos, ethos, and logos to sway public opinion. Cicero meticulously chronicles the abuses of power Verres inflicted upon the citizens of Sicily, vividly illustrating themes of justice, corruption, and civic duty. Through eloquent prose and engaging narrative, he calls upon the Roman Senate to hold Verres accountable, effectively showcasing the intersection of law and morality in Roman society. Marcus Tullius Cicero, a philosopher, statesman, and lawyer, was profoundly influenced by the turbulent political climate of his time. Living amidst the decline of the Roman Republic and grappling with moral integrity, Cicero's experiences compelled him to advocate for justice and uphold the rule of law. His position as a consul and his participation in the political forum equipped him with a robust understanding of rhetoric and ethics, shaping his passionate defense against Verres. "Against Verres" is essential reading for anyone interested in Roman history, legal philosophy, and the art of persuasion. Cicero's ageless exploration of moral outrage and civic responsibility continues to resonate, making it a vital text for scholars and casual readers alike. Engage with this dramatic trial and witness the rhetorical brilliance that secured Cicero's legacy as one of history's foremost orators.

The Secret Founding of America -...

Nicholas Hagger

The widely accepted story of the founding of America is that The Mayflower delivered the first settlers from Plymouth to the New World in 1620. Yet in reality, the Jamestown settlers had already become the first English-speaking outpost thirteen years earlier in 1607. The Secret Founding of America introduces these two groups of founders—the Planting Fathers, who established the earliest settlements along essentially Christian lines, and the Founding Fathers, who unified the colonies with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution—and it argues that the new nation, conceived in liberty, was the Freemasons’ first step towards a new world order. Drawing on original findings and an in-depth understanding of the political and philosophical realities of the time, historian Nicholas Hagger charts the connections between Gosnold and Smith, Templars and Jacobites, and secret societies and libertarian ideals. He also explains how the influence of German Illuminati worked on the constructors of the new republic, and shows the hand of Freemasonry at work at every turning point in America’s history, from Civil War to today’s global struggles for democracy.
