Letters from a Stoic by Lucius Seneca

Letters from a Stoic by Lucius Seneca

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. ‘Where you arrive does not matter so much as what sort of person you are when you arrive there.’ Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4BC–AD 65) is one of the most eminent 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, Seneca wrote Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium, or Letters from a Stoic, detailing these principles in full, sharing the 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 ethical ideas of Stoicism and continues to provide practical, personal counsel for readers seeking guidance in the turbulent twenty-first century.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BC – AD 65), also known as Seneca the Younger, was a Roman philosopher, statesman and tragedian, who later acted as tutor and trusted advisor to Emperor Nero. Seneca is best known today for his writings of moral philosophy and Stoic principles.
