Alone with you with comments and illustrations. Aurelius M.

Contemporaries called Mark Aurelius the righteous on the throne, which was not yet equal. The emperor was filled with the deepest love for people, humility, kindness and generosity.

Despite the fact that he had to always be in sight, conduct state affairs, participate in military campaigns, he often sought solitude, finding him inside himself.

So the book of reflection was born "alone with himself", which he wrote all his life. This is the story of his soul: reasoning, individual thoughts, advice to descendants. An attempt to understand yourself, in essence of human life.

Until now, the topics of good and evil, the meaning of being and the inevitability of death, behavior of people and their relations raised in the book remain relevant, and the reader’s interest in this monument literature of ancient Rome - unchanged.
