LUCIANO CANFORA: Catilina, una rivoluzione mancata

Luciano Canfora presents at the 2023 INTERNATIONAL BOOK FAIR: Catiline, a failed revolution. 👉 The shadow of Catiline looms over the decline of the Republic. In the finale of the "Fourth Catilinarian," Cicero predicts that the game is not over, that indeed a "war without respite" will continue against the "Perditi Cives" (Lost Citizens) (Bellum aeternum supscetum esse video). Luciano Canfora's work as a historian has ranged from antiquity to the contemporary world, from literature to politics. He has studied democracy and freedom as well as theater and libraries, Thucydides, Augustus, and Caesar, as well as Marx and Gramsci. He writes regularly for the "Corriere della Sera," is professor emeritus at the University of Bari, and directs the "Quaderni di storia" (History Notebooks). His books have been widely read in Italy and translated into many languages. Among those published by Laterza are: History of Greek Literature; Julius Caesar. The Democratic Dictator; First Lesson in Greek History; Democracy.
