Reviews

In 2015 Chicago did the great service of publishing G. and L.'s magisterial translation and commentary on all 124 surviving letters to Lucilius (Seneca: Letters on Ethics to Lucilius)... With this volume, G. and L. have now produced a very reasonably priced soft covered selection of slightly under half of the full corpus of Letters to Lucilius. * Classics for All *


The letters' intimate voice, their accessibility, and their focus on everyday challenges make the letters relevant for readers of all ages and academic levels. In addition, explanatory notes at the end of the book add depth and offer clarification for readers unfamiliar with Seneca or Stoic philosophy. A good representative sample of Seneca's letters, Fifty Letters is an approachable text and a good introduction to Roman Stoicism. . . . Recommended. * Choice * In 2015 Chicago did the great service of publishing G. and L.'s magisterial translation and commentary on all 124 surviving letters to Lucilius (Seneca: Letters on Ethics to Lucilius)...
