Author Description

In one single volume, Seneca's Letters from a Stoic: Seneca's Moral Letters to Lucilius, derived from the Richard Gummere (1883–1969) translations originally published in three separate volumes in the United States prior to 1926 under the title Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales (Moral Letters to Lucilius).

This volume is jam-packed with philosophy and practical advice for life, sure to be of interest to not only any self-styled Stoic but also anyone interested in self-mastery and self-improvement. Read it from cover-to-cover, or skim the table of contents to find Seneca's quick bit of advice on something relevant to the day-to-day challenges of your life.
