«Meditaciones (Selección)» is a selection of Stoic thoughts by Marcus Aurelius, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (94 pages, in Spanish).
Written in Greek between 170 and 180 AD, these personal notes, which their author did not intend for publication, were an exercise in Stoic self-discipline. They review self-government, the brevity of life, the serene acceptance of fate and virtue as a goal, proposing an attitude of serenity towards what does not depend on us.
The cover indicates «Meditaciones (Selección)» and «Alianza Cien». Translation by Bartolomé Segura Ramos.
A gateway to Stoicism for readers interested in classical philosophy, thanks to its brief and selective nature.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was Roman emperor from 161 to 180 and a Stoic philosopher. He was a member of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty, the last of the rulers later known as the Five Good Emperors and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an age of relative peace, calm, and stability for the Roman Empire lasting from 27 BC to 180 AD. He served as Roman consul in 140, 145, and 161.
