  • "An epistolary novel re-creating the events leading to the assassination of Julius Caesar."
  • "In 45 v.C., één jaar voor hij vermoord zal worden, blikt de Romeinse diktator C. Julius Caesar (100 v.C.-44 v.C.) terug op zijn leven en loopbaan."
  • ""Historická rekonstrukce nepatří mezi základní cíle tohoto díla. Spíše by bylo možno nazvat je fantazií, volným zpracováním některých událostí a lidských osudů z posledních dnů Římské republiky." Těmito slovy uvádí americkýprozaik a dramatik (nar. 1897) román, který se snaží vyvolat události a atmosféru posledních osmi měsíců Caesarova života. Jde o román ve fingovaných dopisech a dokladech, zaznamenávajících zpovědi, zprávy a sdělení, reakce akomentáře mnoha jednajících osob na otázky tehdejšího života, na jeho vnější i vnitřní problémy. Přestože tyto dokumenty pocházejí z autorovy obrazotvornosti a autor zde podává vlastní koncepci Caesarovy osobnosti a svýchfilosofických konstrukcí, je zde zachycena i řada momentů přísně historických, jako je např. příjezd Kleopatry do Říma a samozřejmě i Caesarovo zavraždění."

  • "Drawing on such unique sources as Thornton Wilder's unpublished letters, journals, and selections from the extensive annotations Wilder made years later in the margins of the book, Tappan Wilder's Afterword adds a special dimension to the reissue of this internationally acclaimed novel. The Ides of March, first published in 1948, is a brilliant epistolary novel set in Julius Caesar's Rome. Thornton Wilder called it "a fantasia on certain events and persons of the last days of the Roman republic." Through vividly imagined letters and documents, Wilder brings to life a dramatic period of world history and one of history's most magnetic, elusive personalities. In this inventive narrative, the Caesar of history becomes Caesar the human being. Wilder also resurrects the controversial figures surrounding Caesar -- Cleopatra, Catullus, Cicero, and others. All Rome comes crowding through these pages -- the Rome of villas and slums, beautiful women and brawling youths, spies and assassins. --Publisher."
