Letters from a Stoic: The 124 Epistles of Seneca

Description: Letters from a Stoic by Seneca, Richard Mott Gummere Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This edition of Senecas Epistles unites all 124 of the letters in a single volume, complete with thorough explanatory notes, an appendix, and an index of the names referred to in the text. The entirety of this compendium was penned by Seneca during his retirement and sent to his friend Lucilius Junior, a procurator of Sicily. At this late stage of life, Seneca held great experience in matters of both philosophy and governance, having served under the Emperor Nero for fifteen years. Despite the conversational tone present in many of Senecas epistles, it isnt entirely clear whether Seneca actually corresponded with Lucilius. It is possible that Seneca simply wished to write fictional correspondence so as to experiment with the form, possibly recreating how he wisely explained ideas or concepts to individuals. The quotation: Vita sine litteris mors - Life without learning [is] death - is derived from the 82nd epistle, and remains the motto for several educational institutions around the world.
