Seneca: De otio; De brevitate vitae


Description

This edition, the first modern one in English, introduces undergraduates and more advanced students to the therapeutic possibilities of Seneca's Stoic philosophy. The short treatises De otio and De brevitate vitae balance each other by representing different but complementary aspects of Senecan philosophy: in De otio, one's duty to the 'active' life, in De brevitate vitae, one's duty to oneself in reclaiming life from the impositions made upon the self. The provocative Senecan message is to promote introspection in life, and to suggest the benefits of an inner existence of the personal. In addition to its literary and linguistic emphasis, this edition tries to advertize the means by which Seneca conveys the attractions of his therapeutic 'philosophy'.

A delightful touchy-feely book with simple, repetitive text, featuring bright, colourful illustrations with textures to touch and feel on every page. Helps very young children develop language and sensory skills. It is shortlisted for the James Tait Black Biography Prize. A "radical" approach to holistic healing that examines the root causes and cures for ailments such as Alzheimer's disease, breast cancer, and heart attacks 9. I Wish I Were a Bird It is 1941 and Captain Antonio Corelli, a young Italian officer, is posted to the Greek island of Cephallonia as part of the occupying forces.

But can this fragile love survive as a war of bestial savagery gets closer and the lines are drawn between invader and defender
