Anunta-ma cand revine pe stoc!A new translation, with an Introduction, by Gregory Hays
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (a.d. 121-180) succeeded his adoptive father as emperor of Rome in a.d. 161--and Meditations remains one of the greatest works of spiritual and ethical reflection ever written. With a profound understanding of human behavior, Marcus provides insights, wisdom, and practical guidance on everything from living in the world to coping with adversity to interacting with others. Consequently, the Meditations have become required reading for statesmen and philosophers alike, while generations of ordinary readers have responded to the straightforward intimacy of his style. In Gregory Hays's new translation--the first in a generation--Marcus's thoughts speak with a new immediacy: never before have they been so directly and powerfully presented.| General | |

Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius (121-180 d.Hr.) a fost unul dintre cei mai importanti imparati romani ai antichitatii. S-a nascut la Rome si a fost adoptat de catre imparatul Hadrian in 145 d.Hr. Numele sau din nastere a fost M. Annius Verus. El a reusit sa conduca Imperiul roman in mare parte fara conflicte, astfel ca timpul sau de domnie a fost cunoscut ca si "Sfarsitul de Aur al Imperiului Roman". Marcus Aurelius a fost membru al filozofilor stoici, care urmau principiul ca destinul nostru este predeterminat si ca destinul se poate schimba prin practica spirituala si autocontrol, fara sa punem prea multa dorinta in lucrurile materiale. Acest principiu a fost sustinut in doua carti scrise de el, "Meditatii" si "Scrierile, despre viata si filozofie" (Cartea despre Acest lucru).
