Letters from a Stoic: The Ancient Classic

A classic. Excellent reading.

I had bought another book by the same publishing company before and loved it, this one is also very good quality. Would recommend.

I gave this as a gift and it was very well received which brought them a great deal of serenity and inner peace. It’s a beautiful hardcover book.

This book is very well made. The lettering is very clear and the paper is coloring is easy on the eyes. Physically the book is easy to hold and read. The introduction by Donald Robertson is very informative and adds to the value of this edition. The translator is by Richard Mott Gummere from 1917. The translation is excellent and would clear to a contemporary reader. It is an excellent translation by the way and enjoyable to read. The book contains 64 of the 124 extant letters of Seneca. Some may see this a drawback. However, having 124 letters in one volume may make the book heavier and possibly uncomfortable to hold or travel with. Given the price for the quality, I think it is a good value.

I love the book it literally a life.
