Description
Seneca
Condition: BRAND NEW ISBN: 9780718193508 Author(s): Emily Wilson Format: Paperback Language: English Year: 2016 Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd Pages: 272
Description: The definitive biography of ancient Rome's most powerful and colourful philosopher-politicianThis book traces the eventful life of Seneca, the Roman philosopher, dramatist, essayist and rhetorician of the first century CE, who came from Spain to Rome, spent his youth in Egypt, was exiled to Corsica under Claudius but recalled after eight years, and rose to dizzying heights of wealth, power and social influence under Nero, before falling from favour and being forced to kill himself. The book analyzes the relationship of Seneca's life story to his literary self-fashioning, and the tensions between the external worlds of politics, consumerism, and social success, with the Stoic ideals of asceticism, virtue and self-control.
