DISCOVER THE ENDURING LEGACY OF ANCIENT STOICISM
Since Roman antiquity, Lucius Annaeus Seneca's Letters have been one of
the greatest expressions of Stoic philosophy. In a highly accessible and
timeless way, Seneca reveals the importance of cultivating virtue and
the fleeting nature of time, and how being clear sighted about death
allows us to live a life of meaning and contentment.
Letters from a Stoic continues to fascinate and inspire new generations
of readers, including those interested in mindfulness and psychological
techniques for well-being.
This deluxe hardback selected edition includes Seneca's first 65 letters
from the Richard M. Gummere translation. An insightful introduction by
Donald Robertson traces Seneca's busy life at the centre of Roman power,
explores how he reconciled his Stoic outlook with vast personal wealth,
and highlights Seneca's relevance for the modern reader.
