In the year 62, citing health issues, the Roman philosopher Seneca
withdrew from public service and devoted his time to writing. His
letters from this period offer a window into his experience as a
landowner, a traveler through Roman Italy, and a man coping with
the onset of old age. They describe the roar of the arena, the
festival of Saturnalia, and the perils of the Adriatic Sea, and
they explain his thoughts about political power, the treatment of
slaves, the origins of civilization, and the key points of Stoic
philosophy. This selection of fifty of his letters brings Seneca to
readers in a fresh modern voice and shows how, as a philosopher, he
speaks to our time. Above all, these letters explore the inner life
of the individual: from the life of heedless vanity to the first
interest in philosophy, to true friendship, self-determination, and
personal excellence.
