Consolations: To Helvia, Marcia and Polybius (Easy to Read Layout) - Paperback

by Seneca (Author), Stewart Aubrey (Translator)

"Death is a release from and an end of all pains: beyond it our sufferings cannot extend: it restores us to the peaceful rest in which we lay before we were born."

Dealing mainly with the themes of death and suffering, Seneca makes philosophy appear here as a form of therapy, Stoic introspection allowing to find meaning in the most painful situations. Therefore it is essential to cultivate self-control and focus on the positive. Death, moreover, should not be feared, it is an integral part of the human condition and should be accepted in a serene manner.

This premium edition comes with a beautiful Easy-to-Read layout which makes reading comfortable.
