Ciceron, Correspondance
Tome IX: Lettres DCCVII-DCCCIII (septembre 45 - aout 45 avant J.-C.)
edited and translated by Jean Beaujeu
Ce volume contient quatre-vingt-dix-sept lettres ecrites entre septembre 45 et le debut du mois d’aout 44 av. J.-C. ; la plupart d’entre elles sont posterieures a la mort de Jules Cesar, assassine le 15 mars 44. Dictees au jour le jour, a l’emportepiece, vibrantes de passion, tissees de phrases breves, souvent elliptiques, elles jettent une lumiere vive, plus ou moins deformante, sur cette periode etrange, ou l’Histoire semble comme en suspens, et sur les grands personnages qui jouent une partie serree, terriblement dangereuse, sous la menace redoutable des milliers de veterans en armes: les tyrannicides, Brutus et Cassius, hesitants et resignes, Antoine qui manoeuvre plus habilement que ne le croit Ciceron, le jeune Octave agile comme une anguille et deja calculateur consomme; bon nombre des lettres figurant dans ce volume constituent pour l’historien des documents de premier ordre.Jean Beaujeu, ancien professeur a la Sorbonne, a deja publie aux Belles Lettres, dans la collection des Universites de France la traduction de la cotrespondance de Ciceron des annees 46 et 45 {Tomes VII et VIII), la traduction de Octavius de Minucius Felix et le livre II (Cosmogonie) de l’Histotre Naturelle de Pline l’Ancien.
