Riassunto

Nel corso della storia, alcuni libri hanno cambiato il mondo. Hanno trasformato il modo in cui vediamo noi stessi e gli altri. Hanno ispirato dibattiti, dissensi, guerre e rivoluzioni. Hanno illuminato, indignato, provocato e confortato. Hanno arricchito vite e le hanno distrutte. Ora Penguin vi presenta le opere dei grandi pensatori, pionieri, radicali e visionari le cui idee hanno scosso la civiltà e ci hanno aiutato a diventare ciò che siamo.

Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was born to an upper-class Roman family in A.D. 121 and was later adopted by the future emperor Antoninus Pius, whom he succeeded in 161. His reign was marked by a successful campaign against Parthia, but was overshadowed in later years by plague, an abortive revolt in the eastern provinces, and the deaths of friends and family, including his co-emperor Lucius Verus. A student of philosophy from his earliest youth, he was especially influenced by the first-century Stoic thinker Epictetus. His later reputation rests on his Meditations, written during his later years and never meant for formal publication. He died in 180, while campaigning against the barbarian tribes on Rome's northern frontier.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are.
