    Roma, siglo I a.C. Ambición, traiciones e intrigas políticas marcan la apasionante lucha por el poder entre Cicerón, el cónsul, y su príncipe opositor, un joven líder populista llamado Julio César. Segunda entrega de la gran «Trilogía de Cicerón» de Robert Harris. Año 63 a.C. Cicerón ha sido nombrado cónsul de Roma, el cargo más alto de la República, tras una ascensión turbulenta hasta la cima del poder que le ha granjeado los peores enemigos. Así, su política se ve condicionada por las intrigas y conspiraciones a su alrededor, que convierten la capital del Imperio en un verdadero laberinto de poder. En semejante escenario, Cicerón debe enfrentarse a Julio César, un joven líder que busca el favor del vulgo, y a Catilina, un personaje sibilino, conspirador y maquiavélico. Son años de disputas, complots y ambiciones desmedidas que marcarán el rumbo de Roma e inscribirán el nombre de sus protagonistas en la Historia. Una novela brillante que ilumina una época de conjuras e intrigas políticas que supondrán el declive de la República romana. Conspiración recrea de forma magistral la vida de Cicerón, uno de los personajes más fascinantes de la antigua Roma, y consagra a Robert Harris como una de las figuras más destacadas de la ficción histórica.

    Aged 48, Marcus Cicero, the greatest orator of his time, is to all appearances a broken man. Out of power, exiled to the eastern Mediterranean with his faithful secretary, Tiro, separated from his wife and children, his possessions confiscated, he spends his days tormented by his failure. But, to quote one of his own famous aphorisms: 'while there's life there's hope'. By promising to support his political enemy, Caesar, he manages to win his return to Italy. Once home, he gradually fights his way back: first in the law courts, then in the senate, and finally by the power of his pen, until at last, for one brief and glorious period, he is once again the dominant figure in Rome. The long-awaited final volume of Robert Harris's Cicero Trilogy, DICTATOR encompasses some of the most epic events in human history: the collapse of the Roman republic, the subsequent civil war, the murder of Pompey and the assassination of Julius Caesar. Its theme, however, is timeless: how is political freedom to be safeguarded against the triple threats of unscrupulous personal ambition, of an electoral system dominated by vested financial interests, and of the corrupting impact of waging ceaseless foreign wars? But above all, it is the very human figure of Cicero, beset by family problems, which makes the story so compelling: brilliant, flawed, frequently fearful and yet ultimately brave - a hero for his time, and for ours.

    'One of the great triumphs of contemporary historical literature.' The TimesWITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR'Laws are silent in times of war.' CiceroOne of the great epics of political and historical fiction, The Cicero Trilogy charts the career of the Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero from his mid-twenties as an ambitious young lawyer to his dramatic death more than thirty years later, pursued by an assassination squad on a cliff-top path.The extraordinary life that unfolds between these two episodes is recounted by Cicero's private secretary, the law cases and the speeches that made his master's name; the elections and conspiracies he fought; the rivals who contended for power around him - Pompey, Crassus, Cato, Clodius, Catalina, and, most menacingly, Caesar; and, at the heart of it all, the complex personality of Cicero himself - brilliant, cunning, duplicitous, anxious, brave, and always intensely humane.More than ten years in the writing, and now published in a single volume for the first time, The Cicero Trilogy brings the world of the Roman republic vividly to life. Here is its grandeur, ambition and corruption; and here is its tumultuous collapse into dictatorship and anarchy - a story of the fragility of democratic institutions that holds a warning for our own time.
