Meditations - Marcus Aurelius (Premium Leather Edition) [Gregory Hays Translation]
In the year 170, the most powerful man in the world sat down to write. Not to an audience or for publications, but to himself, for himself. His name was Marcus Aurelius, the emperor of Rome. Miraculously, these writings survive–and contained within them is a profound prescription for wisdom, justice, discipline and courage. You have the opportunity to hold it in your hands.
This premium edition of the classic book was designed in the US and made in the UK to stand the test of time and to be passed down from generation to generation.
