The Morals of Seneca


Book Description

Excerpt from The Morals of Seneca: A Selection of His Prose On Consolation, one addressed to his mother Helvia the other to Polybius, the reigning palace favourite, containing a good deal of unworthy adulation of Claudius, composed, no doubt, for the royal ear, in the hepe of obtaining 'a reversal of his sentence. These two works have, besides, a certain biographical interest, since we learn from them that Seneca, who was married, though to whom is unknown, at the date of his treatise On Anger, was now a widower with a family of one son, Marcus, and one daughter, N ovatilla, having lost a second son a few days before setting out for Corsica.

Seneca - The Novel


Book Description

The sky was so blue that the horizon could be viewed like a line that divided the civilized world from the wild island of Corsica. Although the panorama from there was amazing, a man in his forties was looking ahead at the coast, which faced the Tyrrhenian Sea. This man was staring at the sea, pointing southeast from the eastern coasts of Corsica. Why was he so gloomy? What was he thinking? What had happened to him?




Seneca (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Seneca Simo le magnifiche apologie degli amici ed ammi ratori devoti? E parrebbe giustizia a noi, che i posteri giudicassero della moralita di uomini che furono nostri contemporanei, ad es. Di Gladstone, di Bismarck, di Garibaldi, solo da qualche libello insidioso scagliato contro di essi Il che non dico perche reputi che tra questi uomini e quello antico, di cui parlo io, sia possibile un paragone; ma solo per afiermare un principio di equa prudenza e per dichiarare inquinate le fonti dell'accusa. Seneca, se non fu un uomo moralmente perfetto, fu pero in gran parte vittima di quella grande menzogna convenzionale, che si chiama la giustizia della storia.
