Synopsis "Meditaciones (Ebook)"

Una de las obras capitales del estoicismo romano.
Las Meditaciones del emperador Marco Aurelio fueron compuestas durante los descansos de sus actividades políticas y bélicas y tenían el propósito de recordarle las máximas fundamentales del estoicismo, de ayudarle a aplicar éstas en su vida diaria, para no desviarse de su objetivo fundamental: ser mejor persona. Están organizadas en doce libros que versan sobre temas de una importancia universal y atemporal, como la fugacidad del tiempo o la manera correcta de conducirse en la vida.
Estas sabias reflexiones nos enseñan a aprender a vivir con humildad y protegernos de las agresiones del exterior, de los vaivenes de la fortuna y de los peligros de las pasiones.

Marco Aurelius Antoninus (in Latin: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus; Rome, April 26, 121 - Vindobona or Sirmium, March 17, 180) was an emperor of the Roman Empire from the year 161 until the year of his death, in 180. He was the last of the so-called Five Good Emperors, third of the emperors coming from a family of ancient Italic settlers settled in the province of Baetica, and is considered one of the most representative figures of Stoic philosophy. Marco Aurelius and Lucius Verus were adopted sons of Antoninus Pius by decree of Hadrian, and the first two, co-emperors of the Empire

His reign was marked by military conflicts in Asia against a revitalized Parthian Empire and in Upper Germania against the barbarian tribes settled along the Limes Germanicus, in Gaul and along the Danube. During the period of his empire, he had to face a revolt in the eastern provinces led by Avidius Cassius, which he crushed. He ruled briefly alone after the death of Lucius Verus as a result of the Antonine Plague in 169, although from 177 he ruled together with his son Commodus, who would succeed him

The great work of Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, written in Hellenistic Greek during the campaigns of the 170s, is still considered a monument to perfect government. It is often described as "a work written exquisitely and with infinite tenderness"
