HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. No man can live a happy life, or
even a supportable life, without the study of wisdom Lucius Annaeus
Seneca (4 BC-AD 65) is one of the most famous Roman philosophers.
Instrumental in guiding the Roman Empire under emperor Nero, Seneca
influenced him from a young age with his Stoic principles. Later in
life, he wrote Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium, or Letters from a
Stoic, detailing these principles in full. Seneca's letters read
like a diary, or a handbook of philosophical meditations. Often
beginning with observations on daily life, the letters focus on
many traditional themes of Stoic philosophy, such as the contempt
of death, the value of friendship and virtue as the supreme good.
Using Gummere's translation from the early twentieth century, this
selection of Seneca's letters shows his belief in the austere,
ethical ideals of Stoicism - teachings we can still learn from
today.
