Letters from a Stoic is collection of 124 letters which were written by Seneca at the end of his life, during his retirement, and written after he had worked for the Emperor Nero for 15 years. They are addressed to Lucilius, the then procurator of Sicily.

The letters highlight many moral and ethical ways to live, and address many of the issues known to man, about life and death.

Each letter has been carefully adapted into modern English to allow for easy listening and understanding.

This is the complete volume containing all 124 letters.

Enjoy!

I'm sorry I bought this Audible-recommended version of 'Letters'. It sounds as if the reader was being paid to speed read something in a language he didn'tunderstand. He's saying words monotonously, with no indication that he cares about what he's reading. And on top of that, the recording skips for no apparent reason. Don't bother with this version of 'Letters'.

The reading is utterly monotonous

This book offered thoughtful insight to human behavior however, it was poorly performed to the extent where I stopped listening. I will likely read the book myself.

Subpar Performance

This should be mandatory listening for everyone over the age of about 15.

The narrator gets the job done admirably, even though the material has the potential to be extremely dry.

Chapter 20 has some short skips, a word or two sporadically not being spoken. Looking to get a replacement.

Skips in recording

Chapter 20 has audio issues. It gets real choppy and skips around. For this to be such great wisdom and enjoyable Chapter 20 is pissing me
