Classic Anon Anon Letters from a Stoic is an interesting tome filled with the correspondence between Seneca and His friend Lucilius.This is a fascinating glimpse into the thoughts of a philosopher from two thousand years ago. A must read for anyone who is a fan of the classics.. Narration very helpful in understanding the deeper thoughts of this wonderful philosopher I received the audio version of this book for free in exchange for an honest review. I also got the Kindle version of the book when I got a little deeper into the thoughts of Seneca. I find it's amazing how people have not really changed in all these years since Seneca wrote these words. We all still have so much to learn! The narration was perfect for the book.
