Tusculan Disputations

Tusculan Disputations

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Quintus Curtius
2021
sidottu
The Roman statesman and orator Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 B. C.-40 B. C.) remains a writer whose enormous influence has been felt for many centuries. Tusculan Disputations is his most wide-ranging philosophical work, and was intended to introduce the Roman people to the pleasures and benefits of the study of philosophy. Using a series of stimulating dialogues, Tusculan Disputations examines five practical topics: dealing with the fear of death, enduring pain, reducing anxiety, the various disorders of the soul, and the human need for virtue. These dialogues-accessible yet movingly profound-address some of the most relevant and urgent problems of modern life. This is the first translation of Tusculan Disputations to appear in many generations. It requires no prior background in the subject matter, and is ideal for the student or motivated reader. Translator Quintus Curtius has returned to the original Latin text to produce an English edition that is modern, clear, and faithful to the original. It is extensively annotated and illustrated, formatted with modern dialogue conventions for ease of reading, and contains an explanatory introduction and a comprehensive index. Cicero's original vision has been restored to all its glory for a new generation of readers.

How to Tell a Joke

How to Tell a Joke

Marcus Tullius Cicero

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS
2021
sidottu
Timeless advice about how to use humor to win over any audienceCan jokes win a hostile room, a hopeless argument, or even an election? You bet they can, according to Cicero, and he knew what he was talking about. One of Rome’s greatest politicians, speakers, and lawyers, Cicero was also reputedly one of antiquity’s funniest people. After he was elected commander-in-chief and head of state, his enemies even started calling him “the stand-up Consul.” How to Tell a Joke provides a lively new translation of Cicero’s essential writing on humor alongside that of the later Roman orator and educator Quintilian. The result is a timeless practical guide to how a well-timed joke can win over any audience. As powerful as jokes can be, they are also hugely risky. The line between a witty joke and an offensive one isn’t always clear. Cross it and you’ll look like a clown, or worse. Here, Cicero and Quintilian explore every aspect of telling jokes—while avoiding costly mistakes. Presenting the sections on humor in Cicero’s On the Ideal Orator and Quintilian’s The Education of the Orator, complete with an enlightening introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, How to Tell a Joke examines the risks and rewards of humor and analyzes basic types that readers can use to write their own jokes. Filled with insight, wit, and examples, including more than a few lawyer jokes, How to Tell a Joke will appeal to anyone interested in humor or the art of public speaking.

How to Grow Old and a Guide to Friendship (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket)

How to Grow Old and a Guide to Friendship (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket)

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Royal Classics
2021
sidottu
In How to Grow Old Cicero shows that old age is not only tolerable, but comfortable by internal resources of happiness. Cicero maintains that some disadvantages are imaginary, and for any real pleasures of which the old are deprived, others more refined and higher may be substituted. In A Guide to Friendship, Cicero explains how to discover, maintain, and enjoy friendships. The rediscovery of Cicero's letters is credited for initiating the 14th-century Renaissance in public affairs, humanism, and classical Roman culture. The peak of Cicero's authority and prestige came during the 18th-century Enlightenment, and his impact on leading Enlightenment thinkers and political theorists such as John Locke, David Hume, Montesquieu and Edmund Burke was substantial. His works rank among the most influential in European culture, and today still constitute one of the most important bodies of primary material for the writing and revision of Roman history, especially the last days of the Roman Republic. This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

Halvin toimitettuna 29,40 €

Roomalaisen valtiomiehen ja puhujan Marcus Tullius Ciceron jälkivaikutus on ollut valtava. Häntä on pidetty paitsi latinankielisen proosan tärkeänä kehittäjänä myös koko eurooppalaisen humanismin edelläkävijänä. Ciceron kirjeet tarjoavat yksityiskohtaista tietoa Rooman tasavallan ajan viimeisten vuosien myrskyisistä tapahtumista, kuten Julius Caesarin ja Pompeiuksen liittolaisuudesta ja välirikosta sekä valtakunnan luisumisesta kohti kansalaissotaa. Samalla ne kuvaavat Ciceron ja Rooman eliitin sosiaalisia verkostoja sekä näyttävät hänen inhimillisen ja yksityisen puolensa. Kirjeet ovat ainutlaatuisia dokumentteja antiikin ajasta. Ne ovat ensimmäinen säilynyt kokoelma aidosti lähetettyjä kirjeitä, joista valtaosa oli tarkoitettu vain vastaanottajan luettavaksi. Roomalaisen elämän lisäksi kirjeet paljastavat mielenkiintoisia kirjeenkirjoitukseen liittyviä käytänteitä. Kuinka viestejä kuljetettiin ja miten niiden luottamuksellisuutta pyrittiin säilyttämään?

Born in 106 BC, Marcus Tullius Cicero was the member of a well connected and well to do family. His cognomen, a personal surname, is derived from the Latin word for chickpea. It is suggested that this name may have been chosen as a result of his family's prosperity arising from the cultivation of chickpeas. His name suggests that despite being one the wealthiest men of his time he viewed himself he carried himself with humility. Educated in Latin and Greek, Cicero would rise to the highest ranks of Roman society, playing an important role as a Roman statesman in the final decades of the Roman Republic. Today he is remembered chiefly for his writings which give us great insight into both his time and his philosophy. Contained within this volume are some of his most important writings on oration, religion, and philosophy. Following the translations of C. D. Yonge, Walter Miller, and E. S. Shuckburgh, "Selected Works" will provide the student of ancient Rome a key insight into the life and time of one of its most important figures. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
