Brutus

Historica Kathryn Tempest schetst in de biografie ‘Brutus’ een portret van een bijzondere Romeinse senator. Hij was filosoof, staatsman, vredestichters en legeraanvoerder. Maar bovenal is Marcus Junius Brutus bekend als ’s werelds beroemdste moordenaar. Brutus was controversieel en ondoorgrondelijk, ook voor zijn tijdgenoten. Zijn rol in de moord op Julius Caesar, de minnaar van zijn moeder, was opmerkelijk. Tempest stelt in deze biografie een interessante vraag: Was Brutus fout om zijn vriend en beschermheer te vermoorden, of had hij gelijk zijn vaderlandsliefde en idealen boven zijn persoonlijke voorkeuren te stellen? Kathryn Tempest dook in het bronnenmateriaal uit Brutus’ tijd en brengt met haar briljante biografie ‘Brutus’ de imposante man tot leven.

Brutus

“Tempest writes as clearly as she thinks. . . A valuable contribution to the field, which deserves to be widely read.”—Prof. Matthew Leigh, History Today“Kathryn Tempest leads us into the complexities and contradictions in the life and legacy of Brutus, a figure who has provoked controversy through the ages.”—James Romm, TLSWinner of the Outstanding Academic Title for 2018 award sponsored by Choice“A beautifully written and thought-provoking book.”—Christopher Pelling, author of Plutarch and History“Engagingly written and admirably researched, Tempest’s new biography gets us closer than we have ever been to recovering the authentic Marcus Brutus. Tempest supplies new perspectives on evidence we believed we already knew well and, while remaining far from hagiography, makes clear the man’s remarkable historical importance.” — W. Jeffrey Tatum, author of Always I am Caesar  "Kathryn Tempest has brought us closer to one of the most important and yet enigmatic characters in ancient history and offers a portrait of a 'noble conspirator' at a time of great unrest in Rome's history: capable, ambitious, in many ways honourable, and certainly deserving of emerging from Caesar's shadow. This is biography as it should be written."—Michael Scott, author of Ancient Worlds: An Epic History of East and West  “Brutus the tyrannicide has been romanticised, idealised and demonised for two thousand years. Tempest deftly disentangles ‘the noblest Roman of them all’ from all these fictions and reveals the Brutus his own contemporaries knew and puzzled over. Essential reading.”—Greg Woolf, author of Rome: An Empire’s Story

Cicero

Following the Civil War, and with renewed hopes for the restoration of the Roman Republic, Cicero launched a fierce attack on Mark Antony by delivering a series of speeches that cannot be matched for their vigour. It was these speeches that would be the cause of Cicero's death. This book tells his story.
