The collection offers an overview of the reception of Cicero's character from his own way (and his own modeling himself as an ideal governor) to contemporary age. Along the centuries, he has been valued as oratory model, master of rhetoric and morality (to the point of being sanctified), irresolute politician or martyr of the Republic. Cicero stands at the roots of European culture.
Il volume abbraccia un arco cronologico amplissimo, dal I secolo a.C. alla contemporaneità, esplorando la ricezione non tanto dell'opera quanto della figura di Cicerone, come modello di oratoria, maestro di retorica e di morale, per taluni addirittura santo, politico imbelle o martire della Repubblica. Cicerone si conferma uno degli autori più presenti nella cultura europea di tutti i tempi.
