Letters from a Stoic
One hundred and twenty-four letters from the first century AD, addressed to his young friend Lucilius, on time, friendship, wealth, death, and the right use of a life. The Stoic text most immediately useful for actual living.
Allo's take
Seneca writes about death with the clarity of someone who knows it is coming soon. Allo keeps it for Letter I: on the use of time — six paragraphs that have not been improved upon.As an Amazon Associate, byallo earns from qualifying purchases.
