Moral Letters, Vol. I
Gelesen von Felipe Vogel
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
(4,767 Sterne; 103 Bewertungen)
"Among the personalities of the early Roman Empire there are few who offer to the readers of to-day such dramatic interest as does Lucius Annaeus Seneca, the author of the Epistles which are translated in this volume. ... In these letters, it is impossible to ignore the advance from a somewhat stiff and Ciceronian point of view into the attractive and debatable land of what one may fairly call modern ideas. The style of the Epistles is bold, and so is the thought." (from the Introduction) (9 hr 39 min)

How to live, act and believe.
Joseph Brown
(5 Sterne)
This audiobook captures Seneca well. These wide-ranging letters from Seneca to Lucilius are wonderfully modern in tone. Taken together they form a cohesive work on virtue and the art of living. Later this book influenced the early church. In turn, Seneca was influenced by Epicurus. Here he examines how to live well and gracefully as a citizen in a modern city state. While this is an ancient text on morality, it's also a surprisingly timeless reflection on living life that's endlessly quotable and insightful.
Amazing!

As a young guy listening to Seneca has changed me. The wisdom he endows is real and relevant all these years later.

The narrator does an excellent job. Perfect pace in my opinion as he allows the message to sink in for the reader. Thank you so much for narrating this. As for the book... such clarity and amazing metaphors to allow the recipient to understand the message. Definitely a deserted island quality book.

I can’t fathom there being a single person in the entire world who would not benefit immensely from this book. About as good as is possible for a book on life guidance…. The reader did a great job at presenting this incredible text as well
