BOOKS BY THE GREATS, COVERS BY YOU.
Written by the only Roman emperor who was also a philosopher, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a remarkable series of spiritual reflections developed as the emperor struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe: covering subjects such as moral virtue, human rationality and divine providence. But while the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation and encouragement, in developing his beliefs Marcus Aurelius also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a timeless collection of wisdom that has been consulted by statesmen and thinkers throughout the centuries.

Acerca del autor
Marcus Aelius Aurelius Antoninus, 121–180. was adopted by the emperor Antoninus Pius and succeeded him in 161, (as joint emperor with adoptive brother Lucius Verus). He ruled alone from 169. He spent much of his reign in putting down variou rebellions, and was a persecutor of Christians. His fame rest, above all, on his Meditations, a series of reflections, strongly influenced by Epictetus, which represent a Stoic outlook on life. He died in 180 and was succeed by his natural son, thus ending the period of the adoptive emperors.
