Title: Stoic
Description: Fabulous wealth, literary fame, exile, an amazing come back to the height of political power and a tragic ending - the life of Lucius Annaeus Seneca - aka Seneca the Younger or simply Seneca - is one of the great untold stories of Ancient Rome. In The Stoic, Francis Holland presents a riveting portrait of the prolific but mysterious Roman statesman and philosopher whose works - especially Letters from a Stoic, Dialogues and On the Shortness of Life - remain popular and vital two thousand years later.
