Synopsis
This book is a prime example of the literary form of letter writing. The letters in this work provide an authentic, in-depth look at the mind of an influential Roman living through a time of political, social, and personal upheaval. The author's insights into his own motivations, relationships, and decision-making under pressure are priceless, and give an intensely human perspective on what would otherwise be a dry recitation of historical events. His reflections on morality, friendship, and the qualities of a just society, written while he was an exile from his homeland, provide a depth and range of thought that few modern works of political philosophy can match. The collection also offers fascinating glimpses into aspects of Roman life, from its political infighting to the evolving nature of Roman friendship and the law.
