{"product_id":"tacitus-1","title":"Tacitus","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe histories of Roman senator Cornelius Tacitus constitute the most influential examination of tyranny, political behavior and public morality from the classical age. For centuries these portraits of courageous martyrs to freedom, of paranoid tyrants, and of sycophantic flatteres and informers shaped modern political attitudes. Ronald Mellor provides a compelling analysis of the ideas of the greatest historian of evil in the western intellectual tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTacitus,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Ronald Mellor passionately argues for reclaiming this ironic genius whose cynical world view is particularly well-suited to an analysis of the tyranny and brutality in our own century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tacitus is presented as a moralist, psychologist, political analyst and literary artist.
