Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BCE-65 CE) was a Roman Stoic philosopher,
dramatist, statesman, and advisor 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
helps restore 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. Hardship and Happiness collects a range of
essays intended to instruct, from consolations--works that offer
comfort to someone who has suffered a personal loss--to pieces on
how to achieve happiness or tranquility in the face of a difficult
world. Expertly translated, the essays will be read and used by
undergraduate philosophy students and experienced scholars alike.
