Selected from the Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium, Seneca''s Letters from a Stoic are a set of ''essays in disguise'' from one of the most insightful philosophers of the Silver Age of Roman literature. This Penguin Classics edition is translated from the Latin with an introduction by Robin Campbell.A philosophy that saw self-possession as the key to an existence lived ''in accordance with nature'', Stoicism called for the restraint of animal instincts and the severing of emotional ties. These beliefs were formulated by the Athenian followers of Zeno in the fourth century BC, but it was in Seneca that the Stoics found their most eloquent advocate. Stoicism, as expressed in the Letters, helped ease pagan Rome''s transition to Christianity, for it upholds upright ethical ideals and extols virtuous living, as well as expressing disgust for the harsh treatment of slaves and the inhumane slaughters witnessed in the Roman arenas. Seneca''s major contribution to a seemingly unsympathetic creed was to transform it into a powerfully moving and inspiring declaration of the dignity of the individual mind.Robin Campbell''s lucid translation captures Seneca''s humour and tautly aphoristic style.

„O krátkosti života“ (orig. *De brevitate vitae*) je téměř dva tisíce let starý list Lucia Seneky, adresovaný příteli. Seneca, jako jeden z nejvýznamnějších představitelů stoicismu, nás nutí v tomto nadčasovém díle přehodnotit, jak nakládáme s časem. Ukazuje, že kvalita života nezávisí na jeho délce, ale na tom, jak jej využijeme.Seneca vždy patřil a stále patří k nejoblíbenějším a nejpřekládanějším římským autorům. Během svého života stihl být vlivným řečníkem, tutorem římského císaře, podnikatelem a v jednom okamžiku i nejbohatším Římanem. Pro Senecu jako stoika bylo klíčové, jak reagovat a přijímat životní okolnosti, které nemůžeme ovlivnit, a naopak se soustředit na to, co ovlivnit můžeme.V krátkém, ale hlubokém dopisu rodinnému příteli Paulínovi Seneca uvádí osm klíčových důvodů, proč často nežijeme tak, jak bychom chtěli. Rozebírá, proč si mnozí neuvědomují, že čas je ve skutečnosti jejich nejvzácnější zdroj. V listu nenabízí pouze teoretické rady, ale poskytuje i praktická doporučení, jak se vyhnout promarnění života na zbytečnosti a dosáhnout opravdového štěstí a smysluplného života.

''No man is crushed by misfortune unless he has first been deceived by prosperity.''In these dialogues and essays the Stoic philosopher Seneca outlines his thoughts on how to live in a troubled world. Tutor to the young emperor Nero, Seneca wrote exercises in practical philosophy that draw upon contemporary Roman life and illuminate the intellectual concerns of the day. They also have much to say to the modern reader, as Seneca ranges widely across subjects such as the shortness of life, tranquillity of mind, anger, mercy, happiness, and grief at the loss of a loved one. Seneca''s accessible, aphoristic style makes his writing especially attractive as an introduction to Stoic philosophy, and belies its reputation for austerity and dogmatism. This edition combines a clear and modern translation with an introduction to Seneca''s life and philosophical interests, and helpful notes.

V dnešní době zaznamenáváme obrovský zájem o stoicismus, ale přestože je Seneca označován za "nejpřesvědčivějšího a nejelegantnějšího ze stoických spisovatelů", nikdo dosud nenapsal knihu, v níž by jeho učení přiblížil běžnému čtenáři. Doufám, že moje kniha tuto mezeru zaplní a osvětlí vám jeho filosofii. Možná že tato kniha ukojí zvědavost některých čtenářů, již se o Senekovu filosofii zajímají. Mezi stoiky Seneca vyniká hlubokým psychologickým vhledem do lidské povahy, ctižádosti i obav. Jako první učenec západního světa důkladně zkoumal psychologii konzumerismu. Výrazně přispěl i k pochopení emocí a hněvu a jeho myšlenky si uchovaly platnost dodnes. Krátce řečeno, Seneca nebyl akademický teoretik, nýbrž člověk, který to ve skutečnosti "všechno zažil" - ty nejlepší i ty nejhorší stránky lidské povahy.[i] To, o čem psal, znal z první ruky a měl jedinečnou schopnost porozumět vnitřní, psychické motivaci lidí. Právě to z něj činí po dvou tisících letech nedocenitelného průvodce i pro moderního čtenáře. Senekova doba je tedy i naší dobou. Seneca je naším současníkem a my s ním sdílíme jeho nejhlubší obavy.

As chief advisor to the emperor Nero, Lucius Annaeus Seneca was most influential in ancient Rome as a power behind the throne. His lasting fame derives from his writings on Stoic ideology, in which philosophy is a practical form of self-improvement rather than a matter of argument or wordplay. Seneca''s letters to a young friend advise action rather than reflection, addressing the issues that confront every generation: how to achieve a good life; how to avoid corruption and self-indulgence; and how to live without fear of death. Written in an intimate, conversational style, the letters reflect the traditional Stoic focus on living in accordance with nature and accepting the world on its own terms. The philosopher emphasizes the Roman values of courage, self-control, and rationality, yet he remains remarkably modern in his tolerant and cosmopolitan attitude. Rich in epigrammatic wit, Seneca''s interpretation of Stoicism constitutes a timeless and inspiring declaration of the dignity of the individual mind.

Celibát ako podmienka ku kňazstvu je už osem storočí hnisajúcou ranou Rímskokatolíckej cirkvi, ktorá ignoruje výrok Biblie biskup nech je muž jednej ženy. Liečiť túto ranu znamená znovu svätiť že¬natých. Tragédia celibátu – mŕtva manželka obsahuje nielen histo¬rické a biblické fakty, teologické rozpory v dobových pohľadoch na sexualitu, ale aj profily cirkevných otcov a učiteľov, ktoré sú úče¬lovo zamlčiavané. Aké faktory stoja na pozadí vypudenia ženatých z kléru Rímskokatolíckej cirkvi? Prečo Cirkev prestala svätiť otcov a manželov za kňazov, keď Ježiš Kristus si povolával za apoštolov aj ženatých? Prečo Gréckokatolícka cirkev nemá pedofilné škandály? Čo znamená slúžiť Bohu s nerozdeleným srdcom? Čo učili cirkev¬ní otcovia o sexualite? Kým boli ovplyvnení? Od Platónovho telo je hrob duše po wojtyłovské telo je sviatosťou spásy prešla Cirkev kus cesty, avšak dôležitý krok stále neurobila. Na svätenie ženatých mu¬žov sú oveľa hlbšie dôvody ako nedostatok kňazov. Morbídnosť Rím¬skokatolíckej cirkvi spočíva v tom, že smrť manželky je bránou ku kňazstvu. Azda nikdy nebolo viac potrebné, aby sa Cirkev postavila za manželstvo a rodinu ako v dobe genderizmu.

Beginnings & Other Tragedies is a powerful book-length poem, offering a choral experience of a present-future where almost all hope seems lost – except for that offered by poetry itself, and the "beginners" who care about our planet and dream of making a change. In the background, the landscape of Venice, the sinking city.Drawing on nature poetry, dystopian fiction and Greek tragedy, Ilaria Boffa reimagines scientific and ecological language as sites of beauty, with the power to change reality; seen here as something malleable and unstable, to be made and remade. Published in a bilingual English/Italian edition, with both texts written by the original poet, readers are offered a rare opportunity to compare the two languages at their absolute best.Through confronting the most painful, discomforting parts of the world and ourselves, Boffa reminds us why "it''s good to think difficult things", and why it may be time to repurpose ourselves and start again – a call-to-action which murmurs in our ears both as we read and long after we set the book down.

Oedipus the King * Aias * Philoctetes * Oedipus at ColonusSophocles stands as one of the greatest dramatists of all time, and one of the most influential on artists and thinkers over the centuries. In these four tragedies he portrays the extremes of human suffering and emotion, turning the heroic myths into supreme works of poetry and dramatic action. Oedipus the King follows Oedipus, the ''man of sorrow'', who has unwittingly chosen to enact his prophesied course by murdering his father and marrying his mother. In Aias, the great warrior confronts the harrowing humiliation inflicted upon him, while Philoctetes sees a once-noble hero nursing his resentment after ten years of marooned isolation. In Oedipus at Colonus the blind Oedipus, who has wandered far and wide as a beggar, finally meets his mysterious death.These original and distinctive verse translations convey the vitality of Sophocles'' poetry and the vigour of the plays in performance. Each play is accompanied by an introduction and substantial notes on topographical and mythical references and interpretation.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Two of Wedekind''s most seminal plays, Earth-Spirit and Pandora''s Box both focus on the actions of the young heroine Lulu, who embodies both animal sensuality and waif-like innocence, as she escapes a life on the streets, receives a society education, marries, takes on various lovers, becomes a dancer in a revue, is imprisoned for murder and encounters Jack the Ripper. When Earth-Spirit was premiered in Leipzig in 1898, Wedekind was vilified and persecuted for advocating unfeigned sexual pleasure and making his heroine a heartless whore. Death and Devil and Castle Wetterstein, the other plays that make up this volume, are essentially extensions of and complementary to the Lulu tragedies.
