How to Win an Election Book

Sold by Emerald Bookshop · Lapaz

This is another one of those interesting little books that have been popping up lately on rome. the book is based on a letter from quintus tullius cicero to his more famous orator brother marcus cicero on how to deal to an upcoming election. it reads remarkably like what a modern campaign manager would say and for those who might be disillusioned it show that cynicism in politics has been with us forever. some of the advice is insightful - remember names,some are practical - promise everyone everything and deliver what you can and some are underhanded - gossip is sometimes more useful than truth. the text has the original latin on one side and the translation on the other. a handy little book and in some ways useful as a study in human behavior.
