Description
A timely book for today’s world, Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations explores how to endure hardship, cope with change, and find something positive in adversity. The book contains the personal reflections of Marcus Aurelius, who writes about the vicissitudes of his life and considers how to live wisely and virtuously in an unpredictable world. A follower of the Stoic tradition, he was one of its finest advocates, both through the clarity of his writing and the uprightness of his life. His aphorisms show that the answer to life lies in maintaining a calm and rational mind and refusing to be cast down or alarmed by things beyond our control. This edition is translated by A. S. L. Farquharson and features an introduction by John Sellars. It is part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library, a series of clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold-foiled edges and ribbon markers, designed as gifts or keepsakes for book lovers.
