A timely book for today's world, Marcus Aurelius's Meditations
explores how to endure hardship, how to cope with change and how to
find something positive out of adversity. Part of the Macmillan
Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized
classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful
books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This
edition is translated by A. S. L. Farquharson and features an
introduction by John Sellars. The Meditations are a set of personal
reflections by Marcus Aurelius. He writes about the vicissitudes of
his own life and explores how to live wisely and virtuously in an
unpredictable world. He was a follower of the Stoic tradition of
philosophy, and one of its finest advocates, both in the clarity of
his writing and in the uprightness of his life. The aphorisms show
how for him, as perhaps for us all, the answer to life lies in
keeping a calm and rational mind, and in refusing to be cast down
or alarmed by things over which we have no control.
