- Description or summary of the audiobook: Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BCE - 65 CE) was a Roman Stoic philosopher, dramatist, statesman, and adviser to the emperor Nero, all during the Silver Age of Latin literature. The 'Complete Works of Lucius Annaeus Seneca' is a fresh and compelling series of new English-language translations of his works in eight accessible volumes. Edited by world-renowned classicists Elizabeth Asmis, Shadi Bartsch, and Martha C. Nussbaum, this engaging collection restores Seneca - whose works have been highly praised by modern authors from Desiderius Erasmus to Ralph Waldo Emerson - to his rightful place among the classical writers most widely studied in the humanities. 'Anger, Mercy, Revenge' comprises three key writings: the moral essays 'On Anger' and 'On Clemency' - the latter penned as advice for the young emperor Nero - and the 'Apocolocyntosis', a brilliant satire lampooning the end of the reign of Claudius. Friend and tutor, as well as philosopher, Seneca welcomed the end of Claudius' sovereignty and the beginning of the age of Nero in tones alternately serious, poetic, and comic - making 'Anger, Mercy, Revenge' a collection just as complicated, astute, and ambitious as its author.
