Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BCE - 65 CE) was a Roman Stoic
philosopher, dramatist, statesman, and adviser to the emperor Nero,
all during the Silver Age of Latin literature. The "Complete Works
of Lucius Annaeus Seneca" is a fresh and compelling series of new
English-language translations of his works in eight accessible
volumes. Edited by world-renowned classicists Elizabeth Asmis,
Shadi Bartsch, and Martha C. Nussbaum, this engaging collection
restores Seneca - whose works have been highly praised by modern
authors from Desiderius Erasmus to Ralph Waldo Emerson - to his
rightful place among the classical writers most widely studied in
the humanities. "Anger, Mercy, Revenge" comprises three key
writings: the moral essays "On Anger" and "On Clemency" - the
latter penned as advice for the young emperor Nero - and the
"Apocolocyntosis", a brilliant satire lampooning the end of the
reign of Claudius. Friend and tutor, as well as philosopher, Seneca
welcomed the end of Claudius' sovereignty and the beginning of the
age of Nero in tones alternately serious, poetic, and comic -
making "Anger, Mercy, Revenge" a collection just as complicated,
astute, and ambitious as its author.
