The classic
Thornton Wilder novel that
recreates the dazzling ancient Roman empire of Julius Caesar--now
with a new introduction by Jeremy McCarter, author of Young
First published
in 1948, The Ides of March is a brilliant epistolary novel of the Rome
of Julius Caesar. Through imaginary letters and documents, Wilder brings to
life a dramatic period of world history and one of its magnetic personalities.
In this novel,
the Caesar of history becomes Caesar the human being as he appeared to his
family, his legions, his Rome, and his empire
in the months just before his death. In Wilder's inventive narrative, all Rome
comes crowding through his pages: Romans of the slums, of the villas, of the
palaces, brawling youths and noble ladies and prostitutes, and the spies and
assassins stalking Caesar in his Rome.
Vivid,
compelling, and engaging, The Ides of
March showcases
Thornton Wilder's unique storytelling genius. This special edition also includes an afterword by Wilder's nephew, Tappan Wilder, with illuminating documentary material about the novelist and story.
