Description

The important writer and prominent figure in Roman public life, Seneca (circa 4 BC - 65 AD) is considered one of the most interpretive and influential teachers of Latin prose. This collection explores his thoughts on philosophy and the trials of life. In "To Helvia, On the Consolation" he tries to provide comfort to his mother after his exile in 41 AD, while in the works "On the Temporary Nature of Life" and "On the Tranquility of the Mind" there is a clear and persuasive exploration of stoic thought. Witty and self-critical, the "Letters" - written to his young friend Lucilius - investigate Seneca's struggle to attain philosophical wisdom. A fascinating glimpse into one of the greatest minds of Ancient Rome, these works have inspired writers and thinkers such as Montaigne and Rousseau, and continue to captivate and enlighten.
