Resumen del Editor

Discover Seneca's greatest legacy: Letters from a Stoic.

When Seneca, a stoic philosopher and advisor in Ancient Rome for emperor Nero, wrote these moral letters to Lucilius Junior, the then procurator of Sicily, he didn’t know he would soon be forced to take his own life for alleged complicity in a conspiracy to assassinate the emperor, in which he was probably innocent.

He left these timeless letters on the morals of a happy life, benefits, anger, and clemency.

"May I not inquire who is the Master-Builder of this universe?

Am I not to ask these questions? Must I be ignorant of the heights whence I have descended? Whether I am to see this world but once, or to be born many times? What is my destination afterwards? What abode awaits my soul on its release from the laws of slavery among men? Do you forbid me to have a share in heaven?

No, I am above such an existence; I was born to a greater destiny than to be a mere chattel of my body, and I regard this body as nothing but a chain which manacles my freedom. Therefore, I offer it as a sort of buffer to fortune and shall allow no wound to penetrate through to my soul. For my body is the only part of me which can suffer injury. In this dwelling, which is exposed to peril, my soul lives free...."

Listeners who enjoyed Marcus Aurelius' and Epictetus' writings will enjoy the classic book Letters from a Stoic. An engaging collection of ancient wisdom.

Pretty Much as Expected

With Letters from a Stoic, you get a selection of philosophical monologues from Seneca, a famous Roman Stoic, that is almost required reading for those interested in this philosophy. As might be expected for the literature of the time, it can be a hard slog to get though, which is where having somebody else read it to you is so convenient, that I am added a star to the over all score.

This audiobook is organized just like the kindle book that it is sync'd with, covering nearly 100 letters, each a few pages long on various subjects such as: On True and False Friendship, On Sharing Knowledge, On Practicing What You Preach, On Despising Death et al. This makes it easy to revisit specific topics of interest and to track where you are within the work ... so that you can fade in and out of the narration when playing it in the background when doing something else.

I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Accurate account of human secularism

A record of common and uncommon observations of life the animal kingdom we share it with and introspective examples of sociopolitical folly to reckon a pathway of humility.
