Meditations

More about the book

The self-observations of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius were written at the end of his reign in military camps on the northern border of the Roman Empire. In a multitude of personal observations of aphoristic character, the emperor unfolds his world view, oriented towards the common good and reason, in a self-dialogue. The work is one of the most influential autobiographical texts in world literature. Gröls-Classics - English Edition
