Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"A sharp introductory primer on Stoicism. . . . Very finely translated."
---Brendan Boyle, Wall Street Journal"Seneca, the Roman emperor Nero’s chief adviser, discussed death and how to prepare for it way back in the mid-1st century. . . . This new book, a synthesis of his writings on the subject . . . remains as timely today as ever."
---Sarah Murdoch, Toronto Star"Romm’s collection does a service in contributing to bringing the philosopher back, not only to his fellow Classicists, but to every one of us who cares enough to think about how to live and how to die. . . . Not quite a book to die for, but one to enhance life."
---Marguerite Johnson, Australian Book Review"[A] a potent compilation of passages."
---Tracy Lee Simmons, City Journal
