For anyone familiar with the works, this book offers them in a beautifully light, compressed format that itself enhances rereading and ...

Julius Caesar is a tale of honor and betrayal. Pompey, a beloved Roman leader, is defeated in civil war with Caesar. A small brotherhood, let by Marcus Brutus, is still devoted to him after his death, and wants nothing less than the assassination of their new leader. I had expected Caesars death (Et tu, Brute? Then fall Caesar.) to be near the end of the book. However, it turned out to be within the third of five acts. The rest of the book is de ...
