Meditations

The classic collection of writings by second-century Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, now distinctively packaged with a beautifully designed jacket by noted illustrator Malika Favre.A compendium of ruminations and reflections by the second-century Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, a staunch adherent to the Stoic philosophy. It is a spiritual journal of the author's philosophical exercises and a chronicle of the paradox of the philosopher-king, who must enforce the law and administer justice while looking beyond politics to the cosmic vantage point from which the tribulations of politics come to seem trivial.

Ideal for readers interested in general fiction.
