THE MEDITATIONS
of Marcus Aurelius
Illustrated by Evan Robertson

“Strive to be the person philosophy has tried to make you." The Meditations has long been revered as a cornerstone of Stoic philosophy. However, its dense and unorganized prose can be daunting.

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.

THE TRANSLATION
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.
