Catiline - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

In his preface to this play Voltaire says: "The learned will not here meet with a faithful narrative of Catiline’s conspiracy: a tragedy they very well know is not a history but they will see a true picture of the manners of those times: all that Cicero Catiline Cato and Cæsar do in this piece is not true but their genius and character are faithfully represented: if we do not there discover the eloquence of Cicero we shall at least find displayed all that courage and virtue which he showed in the hour of danger. In Catiline is described that contrast of fierceness and dissimulation which formed his real character; Cæsar is represented as growing into power factious and brave; that Cæsar who was born at once to be the glory and the scourge of Rome."Wilder Publications is a green publisher.
