"No one was ever wise by chance" - Seneca

Between 62 and 64 CE, the Roman statesman and philosopher Seneca wrote 124 letters to his friend Lucilius. They were musings and philosophical reflections on how to live a meaningful life. This edition features the 12 most impactful and widely referenced letters, each addressing a timeless theme: time, friendship, fear, integrity, discipline, joy, wisdom, ethics, mortality, and more.

Seneca's writing is eminently readable, practical, and accessible, making these ancient insights feel surprisingly modern. Stylishly designed and boldly illustrated, this pocket edition is perfect for aspiring Stoics or anyone seeking timeless wisdom on how to live well.

The cover art is available here.
