Moral Letters to Lucilius

Seneca — Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger (c. 4 BC — c. 65 AD) — an outstanding Roman Stoic philosopher, poet, playwright, and statesman. In the last years of his life, Seneca paid special attention to issues of moral self-improvement, many of his thoughts resonate with Christian worldview — it is no coincidence that Seneca was considered "almost a Christian" and was attributed correspondence with the Apostle Paul.

"Moral Letters to Lucilius," addressed to a younger contemporary of Seneca, the governor of Sicily, — is the culmination of the philosopher's philosophy and life experience. This is probably the most widely read work of Seneca, from the Middle Ages to the present day. Written in simple and wise language, the "Letters" can still serve as a guide to a morally correct life.

This edition presents the complete collection of Seneca's letters.
