Beschreibung

To read The Sayings of Marcus is to walk beside an emperor who governed not through cruelty or conquest, but by reason, restraint, and virtue. This collection presents rare, firsthand glimpses of Marcus Aurelius not as a distant symbol of power, but as a human being navigating the immense burden of imperial responsibility with unwavering Stoic discipline.
Here is Marcus confronting betrayal with mercy, rejecting revenge in the arena, and speaking candidly of philosophy, war, death, and duty. His words, at once spare and profound, offer a timeless testament to character under pressure.
For admirers of Meditations, this companion text reveals the man in public life—deciding, judging, and leading. For newcomers to Stoicism or Roman history, it is an unforgettable introduction to one of history's most introspective rulers
