O knihe
From the author of 'Letters from a Stoic,' comes another brilliant, timeless guide to living well. Written as a moral essay to his friend Paulinus, SenecaÕs biting words still pack a powerful punch two thousand years later. With its brash rejection of materialism, conventional lifestyles and group-think, On The Shortness of Life is as relevant as ever. Seneca anticipates the modern world. ItÕs a unique expose of how people get caught up in the rat race and how for those stuck in this mindset, enough is never enough. The ÔbusyÕ individuals of Rome Seneca makes reference to, those people who are too preoccupied with their careers and maintaining social relationships to fully examine the quality of their lives, sound a lot like ourselves.
The message is simple: Life is long if you live it wisely. DonÕt waste time worrying about how you look. DonÕt be lazy. DonÕt over indulge in entertainment and vice. Everything in moderation. Note: This new edition has been translated by Damian Stevenson.
