LETTERS FROM A STOIC (Penguin Classics) by Seneca

Letters from a Stoic by Seneca offers a profound glimpse into the mind of one of Rome’s greatest philosophers and statesmen. Written during years marked by ill health, exile, and political danger, these letters reveal Seneca’s unwavering commitment to Stoicism—the pursuit of wisdom, self-possession, and resilience in the face of life’s challenges. Beyond philosophical guidance, Seneca reflects on friendship, courage, and moral responsibility, while critiquing the harsh treatment of slaves and the brutal spectacle of the gladiatorial arena. Through wit, humanity, and insight, Letters from a Stoic is a timeless testament to the dignity of the individual mind and the enduring power of thoughtful reflection.
