رسائل أخلاقية إلى لوسيلوس

مقدمة

The letters, in twenty books, are addressed to Lucilius, a friend of Seneca who was then serving as an official in Sicily; whether they were actually sent or written for publication is debated. They date from the last years of Seneca’s life, after his withdrawal from Nero’s court. Each letter starts from an everyday situation – a journey, an illness, a visit to the baths – and leads to a Stoic lesson. The first letter begins with the advice to claim oneself for oneself and to hold on to time. The collection is incomplete: Aulus Gellius quotes from a twenty-second book. Montaigne and many later essayists took the letters as a model.
