Stoické paradoxy napísal filozof Marcus Tullius Cicero pravdepodobne v prvej polovici roka 46 pred n. l. Autor tu obhajuje šesť etických tvrdení, ktoré sú na prvý pohľad v rozpore s bežným uvažovaním. Z hľadiska etického myslenia stoikov sú však pravdivé. Ukazujú spôsob, ako sa dajú filozofické nyšlienky preniesť do rečníckeho prejavu. Zároveň sa v nich Cicero púšťa do kritiky dobových spoločenských pomerov. Prostredníctvom Stoických paradoxov tak slovenskí čitatelia dostávajú možnosť poodhaliť autorov rečnícky, filozoficky aj politický spôsob myslenia.

Although Cicero’s oratory is well attested—of 106 known speeches, fifty-eight survive intact or in large part—the sixteen speeches that survive only in quotations by later authors nevertheless fill gaps in our knowledge of Rome’s greatest orator. This edition includes all speeches with attested fragments, together with testimonia.

Cicero's influence on rhetoric and philosophy is profound, as he introduced Greek thought to Rome and established a foundational Latin vocabulary. This book features two key works: "Brutus," which surveys notable Roman and Greek orators during the civil war's aftermath, and "The Orator," a critical analysis of eloquence and effective speaking style. Both pieces reflect Cicero's mastery of classical Latin and his enduring impact on the art of oratory.

Cicero is celebrated as a masterful forensic and political orator, with fifty-eight surviving speeches showcasing his skill, wit, and eloquence. These speeches, however, are deeply rooted in the specific historical and political contexts of their times, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of the events and personal dynamics that prompted their delivery for full appreciation.

The biography details the life of Marcus Tullius Cicero, a prominent Roman orator and statesman, highlighting his early education and rise to political prominence. After beginning his career as an advocate, he traveled to Greece and Asia to refine his skills. His administration in Sicily earned him local gratitude, leading to his prosecution of the corrupt praetor Verres. Cicero's most notable achievement as consul was thwarting the conspiracy of Catiline, which solidified his reputation as a defender of the Roman Republic.
