Moral Letters, Vol. II


Leído por Suprada Urval

(3.9 stars; 34 reviews)

This is the second volume of the Letters, Epistles LXVI-XCII. Among the personalities of the early Roman Empire there are few who offer to the readers of to-day such dramatic interest as does Lucius Annaeus Seneca, the author of the Epistles. These letters, written by Seneca towards the end of his life, are all addressed to his friend Lucilius, who, at the time when these letters were written, was a procurator in Sicily. The form of this work, as Bacon says, is a collection of essays rather than of letters. Summary paraphrased from the Introduction in Volume 1 by Suprad. (8 hr 31 min)

Reseñas

Thank you reader!


(5 stars)

Great book... Invaluable content... Unlike with other reviewers, I found this book pleasing to hear precisely due to the readers variance of tone, which provided an interesting level of clarity to informational bits within each sentence, as well as, ample time for understanding the bit's content. Sidenote: It is quite a paradox to see some reviewers commenting on the readers accent. Perhaps, instead of listening to Seneca they should be listening to Epicurus if the pleasure of hearing the right sound is more important than the burden of understanding the sounds meaning.

Liked vol.I more for the ideas. Reader had a couple of misses, but overall good. “Tonight we dine in Hades” does not rhyme with ‘braids’.

Sui-generis

It is an amazing work and I found cute to be read by a girl with a sweet southasian accent.

I will read the book instead.

Accent is too strong, unable to be understood in English.

No problems
