Sinossi
Sono importanti critici e studiosi italiani a raccontare ogni opera in 10 parole chiave: per penetrare fino al cuore dei capolavori di tutti i tempi. Edizioni integrali, testi greci e latini a fronte, traduzioni eleganti, essenziali note a piè di pagina. In più, con le tavole sinottiche, è facile collocare vita e opere degli autori nel contesto storico, letterario e artistico. Possiamo considerare i "Colloqui con sé stesso" come una raccolta di meditazioni sull'uomo, la sua vita, il suo rapporto con il cosmo, redatte nella forma di "esercizi spirituali" finalizzati all'autoterapia, all'autodisciplina e all'autodidattica del saggio stoico. E in particolare, come la testimonianza di una pratica, anch'essa tipicamente stoica, dell'esame di coscienza quotidiano... La visione disincantata della condizione umana e del suo destino di morte/trasformazione... la ritroviamo nella "Ginestra" e in diversi passi dello "Zibaldone" di Leopardi.

In many important ways, the reflections of Marcus Aurelius (121 AD-180 AD) crystallize the philosophical wisdom of the Greco-Roman world. This little book was written as a diary to himself while emperor fighting a war out on the boarder of the Roman Empire and today this book is known to us as The M Leggi tutto
When I was a freshman in college, I lived in a dorm. My roommate was on the football team. He would write inspiring things on poster board and hang them in our room often on the ceiling above his bed to motivate himself. He favored straightforward sentiments like "never give up." The Roman emperor Ma Leggi tutto
This basically consists of Marcus Aurelius repeating, "Get it together, Marcus" to himself over and over again over the course of 12 chapters.

Look within: do not allow the special quality or worth of anything to pass you by. I love this quote and I love the wisdom that runs through this book. It’s such a simple idea and it is also a very true one. Make the most of everything and everyone, of every situation and chance that life
Marcus gives us wise advice about using the Internet, particularly social networking sites: “...because most of what we say and do is not essential. If you can eliminate it, you'll have more time and more tranquillity. Ask yourself at every moment, is this necessary…” He shares his opinions on the wor Leggi tutto
„Lasă deoparte cărţile! Nu te mai chinui...” (II: 2)„Înlătură setea de cărţi, ca să nu mori cîrtind, ci cu adevărat senin şi recunoscător din toată inima zeilor” (II: 3). Cînd Marcus Aurelius notează acest îndemn ciudat (cel puțin pentru cititorul de astăzi), el se gîndește, de fapt, la un singur om: Leggi tutto
“Love only what falls your way and is fated to you. What could suit you more than that?” “Even if you were destined to live three thousand years, or ten times that long, nevertheless remember that no one loses any life other than the one he lives, or lives any life other than the one he loses…No one Leggi tutto
Someone lent me this because they thought it might help me feel better/change my thinking. I was like sure I'll give it a chance but like sorry to say it did nothing. I feel as though many of the things in there that might be helpful are things I've already gotten elsewhere by this point or attitude Leggi tutto
„În textul lumii, nu fi un vers prost” . Multă vreme, lucrarea lui Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121 - 180) a rămas necunoscută. Observațiile împăratului, scrise în limba greacă (și nu în latină), așa era moda printre nobili (Atena cucerise deja Roma), între anii 170 și 180, au fost tipărite abia în 155 Leggi tutto
