He writes with wit and modesty to his friend Lucilius about his own, daily struggle to live up to the ideals of Stoicism. Over the course of this selection he covers a great variety of topics including the Stoics' perennial conflict with Fortune, the corrupting influence of a bad environment and the irrational nature of most fear. Composed not long before his own suicide, the \u003ci\u003eLetters\u003c\/i\u003e also provide an important insight into Seneca's views on death and immortality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliot Maunder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474266061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474266062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Eliot Maunder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458590355711,"sku":"9781474266062","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dbb80bdb-142c-4c14-bbd2-f3cf18c4b485.jpg?v=1777405366","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seneca-letters-eliot-maunder-9781474266062","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
