Sinopsis

In How to Grow Old Cicero shows that old age is not only tolerable, but comfortable by internal resources of happiness.áCicero maintains that some disadvantages are imaginary, and for any real pleasures of which the old are deprived, others more refined and higher may be substituted.áIn A Guide to Friendship, Cicero explains how to discover, maintain, and enjoy friendships.The rediscovery of CiceroâÇÖs letters is credited for initiating the 14th-centuryáRenaissanceáinápublic affairs,áhumanism, and classical Roman culture.áThe peak of CiceroâÇÖs authority and prestige came during the 18th-century Enlightenment,áand his impact on leading Enlightenment thinkers and political theorists such asáJohn Locke,áDavid Hume,áMontesquieuáandáEdmund Burkeáwas substantial.áHis works rank among the most influential in European culture, and today still constitute one of the most important bodies of primary material for the writing and revision of Roman history, especially the last days of theáRoman Republic.This case laminate collectorâÇÖs edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.
