The Meditations has long been revered as a cornerstone of Stoic philosophy. However, because it was his personal journal, its prose is dense and unorganized. This unique edition re organizes Aurelius' wisdom thematically across twelve Stoic principles — from courage to memento mori — and pairs each one with provocative, bold artwork. It’s a great gift for anyone new to Stoicism or seeking a fresh perspective on this foundational classic. THE TRANSLATION To strike a balance between simplicity and scope, we opted to use a careful combination of Farquharson and Long, with a few judicious edits for clarity. The resulting text retains the poetry of the original without losing its punch and immediacy. 3 books for $30 — Use code 3BOOKS at checkout DETAILS Pocket Edition: W 4.5 in x L 6 in 84 pages Original artwork by award-winning illustrator, Evan Robertson Softcover, FSC-certified uncoated paper with vegetable-based inks Designed and printed in the USA Published by Obvious State Cover art available HERE Show more
