Recenzje

Cato comes to us mostly by way of idealizing or caricature. Drogula, in this vividly written and wellinformed biography, aims at recovering the fleshandbone Cato and his complicated personality. Here was a man who, as Drogula shows us, looked to the past in fashioning his deeply influential reputation for traditional virtue and yet was instrumental in the events which led to the collapse of the Republic, whose values he claimed to embody. His story is anything but simple, and Drogula tells it well.
