Faithfully rendered in accessible language, this volume brings together his most celebrated works: On Duties, On Friendship, On Old Age, the Stoic Paradoxes, and the visionary Dream of Scipio. Whether you seek moral guidance, comfort in later years, or a deeper understanding of the human condition, Cicero's insights remain as relevant as ever. Part of The Modern Wisdom Library.
