An exquisite abridged edition of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations by a renowned translator

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was the sixteenth emperor of Rome—and by far the most powerful man in the world. His collected thoughts, gems that have come to be called his Meditations, have proved an inexhaustible source of wisdom and one of the most important Stoic texts of all time. In often passionate language, the entries range from one-line aphorisms to essays, from profundity to bitterness.

An abridged and portable edition of Marcus Aurelius's sage insights, The Wisdom of Marcus Aurelius illuminates one of the greatest works of popular philosophy ever composed.
