For more than two thousand years, humanity has remembered the words that have become popular: “And you, Brutus!” - but he has a rather vague idea about their history and about the hero himself. The famous French researcher and writer, passionate about history, brilliantly fills this gap. The era of Ancient Rome of the last century BC comes to life before the reader with all its turbulent historical and political collisions, with its heroes and antiheroes. The author's focus is on Marcus Junius Brutus, an unusually gifted man endowed with a bright personality: philosopher, orator, lawyer, politician, writer, who, by the will of circumstances, became both a military leader and the head of a political conspiracy. His rich inner world amazes with its vivid spirituality, subtlety of perception and firm inflexibility in his convictions and principles. He was a man of honor, valor, courage and that humanism that would become the credo in a new era - the Renaissance, the Renaissance.
