Summary: "The Letters of Cicero, Volume 1" by Marcus Tullius Cicero is a historical account compiled from the correspondence of the Roman statesman, direct from his letters written between approximately B.C. 68-52. The volume captures a pivotal time in Roman history, focusing on Cicero's personal and political struggles as a key figure during the Republic's decline. This compilation offers insights into Cicero’s life, his relationships, and the historical events he experienced, thereby providing an intimate glimpse into a critical historical era. At the start of this volume, the opening presents a preface that outlines the translator's intentions and the importance of Cicero's letters, emphasizing their historical context and personal significance. The correspondence begins in Cicero's late thirties and covers various aspects of his public and private life, including his thoughts on political figures, his aspirations for office, and his responses to critical events of the era. Notably, the letters provide commentary on Cicero's character, revealing his ambitions, vulnerabilities, and relationships with prominent contemporaries like Pompey and Cato. As the volume sets the stage for Cicero's unfolding narrative, readers are introduced to the intricate interplay between personal sentiment and public duty during a tumultuous period in Rome.
