Born in 4 b.c., Seneca lived during one of the most turbulent
times in Roman history. He served as tutor and then adviser to the
emperor Nero, witnessing firsthand many crimes and debaucheries.
His experiences led him to turn away from public life and retreat
into philosophical contemplation. A leading proponent of Stoicism,
he has influenced writers and thinkers throughout the
centuries.
Seneca's letters and essays are ideally suitable for
intermediate- level Latin students. Written in a clear and crisp
style, they are universal in scope and psychological in
orientation. For this edition, M. D. Usher has arranged the
selections by theme, length, and degree of difficulty. Usher also
provides line-by-line notes on grammar, style, and content, and a
vocabulary listing all Latin words found in the texts.
