Excerpt: ... for my safety will also do so for my dignity. Me, indeed, you will have as the partner and associate in all your actions, sentiments, wishes-in fact, in everything; nor shall I ever in all my life have any purpose so steadfastly before me, as that you should rejoice more and more warmly every day that you did me such eminent service. As to your request that I would send you any books I have written since your departure, there are sonic speeches, which I will give Menocritus, not so very many, so dont be afraid I have also written- for I am now rather withdrawing from oratory and returning to the gentler Muses, which now give me greater delight than any others, as they have done since my earliest youth-well, then, I have written in the Aristotelian style, at least that was my aim, three books in the form of a discussion in dialogue "On the Orator," which, I think, well be of some service to your Lentulus. For they differ a good deal from the current maxims, and embrace a discussion on the whole oratorical theory of the ancients, both that of Aristotle and Isocrates. I have also written in verse three books "On my own Times," which I should have sent you some time ago, if I had thought they ought to be published-for they are witnesses, and will he eternal witnesses, of your services to me arid of my affection-hut I refrained because I was afraid, not of those who might think themselves attacked, for I have been very sparing and gentle in that respect, but of my benefactors, of whom it were an endless task to mention the whole list. Nevertheless, the books, such as they are, if I find anyone to whom I can safely commit them, I will take care to have conveyed to you: and as far as that part of my life and conduct is concerned, I submit it entirely to your judgment. All that I shall succeed in accomplishing in literature or in learning-my old favourite relaxations-I shall with the utmost cheerfulness place before the bar of your criticism, ...… (más)

Very interesting set of correspondence by Cicero. Intriguing and pivotal in order to understand the man behind the politics-- or, just maybe, the politics behind the man. ( )
  DanielSTJ | May 5, 2019 |
The Letters were intended for publication (unlike Cicero's impulsive notes), and frame an honest political toady who rose in rank even under the hated Domitian. Describes a surprising variety of subjects, including the eruption of Vesuvius at Pompey, where his uncle (Pliny the Elder) perished, Roman villas, country life (charms), dinner parties, legacy-hunting for testate succession, statuary, ghost stories, various marvels, and his love for his 3rd wife after being widowed twice. Reported to Trajan on the suppression of Christianity in Bithynia. Friend of Tacitus, and even of the exiled Cicero who he emulated as an orator. The Letters are his largest body of work, and they picture the life of a cultivated gentleman at the time that Pompei was destroyed.
