The Meditations, Marcus Aurelius

<p><strong><em>THE MEDITATIONS<br></em></strong>of Marcus Aurelius<em> <br></em>Illustrated by Evan Robertson </p> <p>“Strive to be the person philosophy has tried to make you." <em>The Meditations</em> has long been revered as a cornerstone of Stoic philosophy. However, its dense and unorganized prose can be daunting. <br><br>This illustrated, abridged edition brings Aurelius' wisdom into sharp focus by carefully selecting and reorganizing the passages into twelve chapters, each focusing on a central Stoic principle. The resulting narrative feels considered and personal, and the thoughtful illustrations enhance the experience, bringing aesthetic beauty to his enduring ideas.</p> <p><strong>THE TRANSLATION </strong><br>To strike a balance between simplicity and scope, we opted to use a careful combination of Farquaharson and Long, with a few judicious edits for clarity. The resulting text retains the poetry of the original without losing its punch and immediacy. <br><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"></span></p> <p><strong>SPECIAL OFFER</strong><br>Any 3 books for $30.
