A new edition of Joseph Addison's tragic play, originally produced in 1713. A popular play throughout colonial America in the years leading up to the Declaration of Independence and American Revolution, this rendition of the story of Cato the Younger -- the Roman stoic philosopher and champion of liberty against tyranny -- captured the imagination of many of the Founding Fathers. Some of the most famous quotes of the Revolutionary era -- e.g., Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty, or give me death!" and Nathan Hale's "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country" -- are adapted from lines in this play. This pocket edition is designed for easy reading, sized to fit in your breast pocket, purse, briefcase, or backpack, with typeface large enough to be easily read and with margins wide enough to be marked-up by students of all ages.The Pocket Founders series is a collection of beautifully laid-out but convenient and readable paperback editions of essential readings from and about the American Founding.

This book is a work of art. The language, the imagery, the symbolism - everything came together beautifully to create a memorable reading experience.

The plot was so well-paced that I lost track of time while reading. I was completely immersed in the story, eagerly turning the pages to uncover the next twist.
