The Meditations, Marcus Aurelius

The Meditations has long been revered as a cornerstone of Stoic philosophy. However, because it was his personal journal, its prose is dense and unorganized. This unique edition organizes Aurelius' timeless wisdom thematically to illuminate key Stoic principles from courage to wisdom to memento mori. Stylishly designed and boldly illustrated, this bestselling pocket edition is portable, inspirational, and a great gift for anyone new to Stoicism or seeking a fresh perspective on this foundational classic.  Paperback: 84 pages (perfect bound) Publisher: Obvious State Language: English Product dimensions: 4.5 x 0.25 x 6 inches THE TRANSLATIONTo strike a balance between simplicity and scope, we opted to use a careful combination of Farquharson and Long, with a few judicious edits for clarity. The resulting text retains the poetry of the original without losing its punch and immediacy. THE ILLUSTRATIONSAll of the art is original and by Obvious State Founder, Evan Robertson.  SPECIAL O
