Nel castello di Varzin una sera dell¿autunno del 1877 ¿ è un amico, il signor Moritz Busch, che racconta ¿ il principe Ottone di Bismarck si era seduto, dopo il pranzo, innanzi al camino e, contrariamente alle sue abitudini, taceva assorto in chi sa quali pensieri, mentre di tempo in tempo, sbadatamente, attizzava con le molle il fuoco. Gli amici intorno rispettavano la sua meditazione, tacendo anch¿essi; quando a un tratto, di propria iniziativa, il principe ruppe il silenzio e cominciò un lungo lamento lagnandosi di aver cavata poca gioia da tutta la sua tempestosa attività di statista e di aver tanto lavorato, senza riescire a far nessuno felice; non sè stesso, non la sua famiglia, non...

Il mondo si è capovolto. La faccia di tutte le cose è sfigurata. L¿umanità non riconosce più sè medesima. La terra è coperta di orrende cicatrici. Alcune delle sue regioni più floride sono morte, come i crateri dei vulcani. Il fuoco e l¿odio hanno distrutto le città, sterminato le foreste, calcinato le glebe. Là dove il fuoco dell¿uomo l¿ha risparmiata, la terra è stata disseccata internamente da una maligna sterilità. Le messi crescono a stento, rade e magre, sulle zolle incattivite. Gli alberi stendono al sole i rami stecchiti e nudi di frutti, come il Crocifisso apre sul legno le braccia.

Cesare si avventurava in Gallia senza nessun disegno ben definito, con scarsa conoscenza del paese e delle sue genti , con non poca trepidazione. Il caso gli aveva dato il governo delle due Gallie così all¿improvviso e all¿impensata, nel febbraio dell¿anno precedente; egli era stato, tutto quell¿anno, siffattamente preso dalle turbolente contese e dagli arruffati intrighi politici, che non aveva potuto informarsi a fondo sulla Gallia, sia leggendo i libri dei viaggiatori, sia consultando i banchieri, i mercanti, gli uomini politici che dalla Gallia narbonese erano in relazione coi Galli liberi.

Nella seconda metà del secolo quinto avanti Cristo, Roma era ancora una repubblica aristocratica di contadini, di circa 450 miglia quadrate di superficie , e con una popolazione libera, sparsa quasi tutta nella campagna e divisa in diciassette distretti o tribù rustiche, che non poteva superare le 150 000 anime . Il maggior numero delle famiglie possedevano un piccolo campo; e genitori e figli, vivendo nel piccolo tugurio e lavorando insieme, lo coltivavano quasi tutto a grano, con poche viti ed ulivi; pascolavano sulle vicine terre pubbliche qualche capo di bestiame; fabbricavano in casa gli strumenti rustici di legno e i vestiti, recandosi solo di tempo in tempo nella città fortificata;

Ma se l¿incendio della guerra si era così presto spento sulla aperta pianura gallica, pigliava forza invece e divampava e si dilatava, appiccandosi dall¿una all¿altra vallata, nelle Alpi. Publio Silio, dopo avere liberata la Istria da Pannoni e da Norici, era sceso nella valle del Po e si era recato a combattere nella Valtellina e nella Val Camonica gli insorti Vennoneti e Camunni . Ma altri popoli, trascinati dall¿esempio dei Vennoneti, che avevan fama di essere una delle genti alpine più ardimentose , si erano levati in armi: i Trumplini, nella Val Trompia, le numerose tribù dei Leponzi che occupavano le moderne Alpi Lepontine, cioè tutte le valli italiane e svizzere sboccanti sul lago...

[44 a. c. 15 marzo] Ma i congiurati, i principali personaggi di Roma ed Antonio non tardarono a riaversi dallo stupore, in cui li aveva gettati l¿improvviso assassinio di Cesare. Necessitati, durante la congiura, a passarsi le ambasciate furtivamente, trepidando, in conciliaboli circospetti di tre o quattro, gli uccisori non avevano potuto affiatarsi bene; si erano intesi sul modo di ammazzar Cesare, ma eran rimasti nel vago su quello che farebbero poi, senza altro proposito ben definito che di proporre subito al Senato la restaurazione della repubblica. Perciò, fallito inopinatamente questo disegno, essi si trovavano ora soli sul Campidoglio deserto; snervati da quella stanchezza che seg...
