Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"In a helpful running commentary that accompanies his vigorous translation, [James] Romm glosses Seneca to mean that the best gifts are given anonymously and received gratefully. . . . For the stoically inclined, a fine vade mecum come donation time." * Kirkus Reviews *
"Engaging. . . . [Seneca] has seldom seemed wiser."---Steven Donoghue, Open Letters
"[Romm] is very helpful in his introduction . . . [and his] short summations show a clear mastery of his material."---Ray Morris, Classics for All
"Thoughtful advice. . . . How to Give is as much about receiving as it is about giving."---John J. Miller, National Review
"This new translation of Seneca the Younger's De Beneficiis has insights for both givers and receivers, confirming that the questions surrounding philanthropy—and how to receive as well as to give graciously—are of enduring importance."---Austin Detwiler, Philanthropy Daily
