The hero of the story, the…man called "a pillar of iron" is Marcus Tullius Cicero, the lawyer-statesman who tried vainly to save the republic he loved from the forces of tyranny. Unfolding here are the private dramas behind the great Roman hero's triumphs and defeats - and the intimate, deeply moving story of his desperate love affair with the beautiful Livia." Good Reads """Taylor Caldwell was born in Manchester, England. In 1907 she emigrated to the United States with her parents and younger brother. Her father died shortly after the move, and the family struggled. At the age of eight she started to write stories, and in fact wrote her first novel, The Romance of Atlantis, at the age of twelve (although it remained unpublished until 1975). Her father did not approve such activity for women, and sent her to work in a bindery. She continued to write prolifically, however, despite ill health. (In 1947, according to TIME magazine, she discarded and burned the manuscripts of 140 unpublished novels.) In 1918-1919, she served in the United States Navy Reserve. In 1919 she married William F. Combs. In 1920, they had a daughter, Mary (known as ""Peggy""). From 1923 to 1924 she was a court reporter in New York State Department of Labor in Buffalo, New York. In 1924, she went to work for the United States Department of Justice, as a member of the Board of Special Inquiry (an immigration tribunal) in Buffalo. In 1931 she graduated from SUNY Buffalo, and also was divorced from William Combs. Caldwell then married her second husband, Marcus Reback, a fellow Justice employee. She had a second child with Reback, a daughter Judith, in 1932. They were married for 40 years, until his death in 1971. In 1934, she began to work on the novel Dynasty of Death, which she and Reback completed in collaboration. It was published in 1938 and became a best-seller. ""Taylor Caldwell"" was presumed to be a man, and there was some public stir when the author was revealed to be a woman. Over the next 43 years, she published 42 more novels, many of them best-sellers. For instance, This Side of Innocence was the biggest fiction seller of 1946. Her works sold an estimated 30 million copies. She became wealthy, traveling to Europe and elsewhere, though she still lived near Buffalo. Her books were big sellers right up to the end of her career. During her career as a writer, she received several awards. She was an outspoken conservative and for a time wrote for the John Birch Society's monthly journal American Opinion and even associated with the anti-Semitic Liberty Lobby. Her memoir, On Growing Up Tough, appeared in 1971, consisting of many edited-down articles from American Opinion. Around 1970, she became interested in reincarnation. She had become friends with well-known occultist author Jess Stearn, who suggested that the vivid detail in her many historical novels was actually subconscious recollection of previous lives. Supposedly, she agreed to be hypnotized and undergo ""past-life regression"" to disprove reincarnation. According to Stearn's book, The Search of a Soul - Taylor Caldwell's Psychic Lives, Caldwell instead began to recall her own past lives - eleven in all, including one on the ""lost continent"" of Lemuria. In 1972, she married William Everett Stancell, a retired real estate developer, but divorced him in 1973. In 1978, she married William Robert Prestie, an eccentric Canadian 17 years her junior. This led to difficulties with her children. She had a long dispute with her daughter Judith over the estate of Judith's father Marcus; in 1979 Judith committed suicide." Good Reads.

Hard Cover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Book Club (BCE/BOMC). Book club edition. Front hinge just beginning to weaken, rear jacket panel stained with 2 inch closed tear to corner, jacket edges rubbed with minor loss from corners. 1965 Hard Cover. 700, [1] pp. "Taking us back to Rome in its greatest period -- th…e time of Caesar and Pompey, the era of Dear and Glorious Physician -- Taylor Caldwell has written her most ambitious novel, a majestic and poignant story that unfolds as Roman democracy faces its own inexorable decay. Its hero is Cicero -- Marcus Tullius Cicero, the pillar of iron, the brilliant and idealistic lawyer, dramatically but precariously devoted to the defense of a nation and republic on trial. Across this rich stage move some of the most vivid characters in history: Scaevola, the incredible, obese lawyer who helped Cicero win his first great case before Sulla; a uniquely-drawn Caesar, sophisticated and devious, yet a man who once said to Cicero: 'I trust only you in Rome'; Catilina, the remarkably handsome and charismatic aristocrat bent on the destruction of all Rome; Noe ben Joel, the Jewish intellectual who half converted Cicero to belief in the coming Messiah; and the great tumultuous society that was Rome in the first century before Christ. History knows Marcus Tullius Cicero in many fragmentary ways: as the author of De Republica, as the compelling and courageous orator who stood against Catilina, as a voluminous correspondent and Consul of Rome. Miss Caldwell has meticulously recreated the whole man. Here is Cicero as a young middle-class law student, passionately in love with the girl Catilina destroys; as a rising public figure whose assassination has been mysteriously ordered; and as husband, friend, devout skeptic, and sharp-tongued patriot. A Pillar of Iron is a major historical novel, casting in sharp relief the embattled nobility and insidious debauchery of Cicero's Rome. Its theme is eerily modern, its canvas animated by the great figures of a civilization hovering on the brink of an abyss. Taylor Caldwell, the author of Dear and Glorious Physician and A Prologue to Love, is one of the most successful woman novelists of our generation. Her present novel is based on a prodigious job of research that began in April of 1947, when she translated hundreds of Cicero's letters in the Vatican Library. Miss Caldwell, in trips to Athens and Rome, has personally authenticated a vast amount of information -- and has drawn the story of Cicero from many of his own words, from his diaries, from the historian Sallust, from his letters to Atticus and Julius Caesar." Includes: Part One - The Child and the Youth; Part Two - The Man and the Lawyer; Part Three - The Patriot and the Politician; Part Four - The Hero. "Janet Miriam Holland Taylor Caldwell (September 7, 1900 - August 30, 1985) was an Anglo-American novelist and prolific author of popular fiction, also known by the pen names Marcus Holland and Max Reiner, and by her married name of J. Miriam Reback. In her fiction, she often used real historical events or persons. Taylor Caldwell's best-known works include Dynasty of Death, Dear and Glorious Physician (about Saint Luke), and Captains and the Kings. Her last major novel, Answer as a Man, appeared in 1980.
