The great stoic philosopher, playwright and Roman statesman of the
first century, Lucius Annaeus Seneca, exercised enormous influence
for nearly fifteen years as tutor and political advisor to the
Emperor Nero until forced to commit suicide by his former pupil. In
the hands of Annales School historian Paul Veyne, the dramatic
story of his life - one of power, politics and intrigue - becomes a
mirror of the time in which he lived.
Seneca's philosophical writings remain our core source for stoic
thought, and their immense influence continues to be felt. Veyne's
authoritative exposition of stoicism and the interconnections
between Seneca's life and thought, make this book ideal reading for
anyone interested in Roman history and philosophy. This compact and
compelling book is a brilliant introduction to the life and
philosophy of one of the ancient world's greatest thinkers by one
of the great historians of our own time.
