Set in ancient Rome, the book features Seneca the Younger, a philosopher and statesman who navigated the complexities of power and personal ethics. After his exile and return as Nero's minister, he penned "Letters from a Stoic," a collection that outlines Stoic principles and emphasizes empathy in a harsh society. Seneca critiques the treatment of slaves and the brutality of entertainment, advocating for respect and ethical behavior. Despite Stoicism's decline, his insights continue to inspire readers seeking wisdom and a rational approach to life.
