It came from the mind of a slave, was dictated by him to a student, and influenced a Roman emperor. The Enchiridion, or "handbook" of Epictetus is one of the clearest expositions of Stoic philosophy. It was a practical handbook that was influential in ancient, medieval and even modern times. It was adapted by early Christians, and gives us a glimpes of Pagan Greece as well. Few other works in history have been so widely read by so many, and have been so influential. Now, Abbott ePublishing presents this beautiful electronic copy of this amazing work. Translated by the foremost classical scholar of his age, George Long (with only very minor tips of the hat to modern English) and with original cover art exclusive to this eBook, we are very proud to present this version for an extremely reasonable price, so that its influence may spread in this age as it has in past ages. $1.99 Available in .pdf and mobipocket formats .pdf mobipocket Meditations of Marcus Aurelius translated by George Long A classic of ancient literature, the journal entries of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) were the private conversation of the emperor with himself. But after his death, they became konwn and published, and have, through the ages, been studied by men and women in positions of power and those with none at all for the peace and comfort his Stoic musings bring. This classic translation by George Long (d. 1879) is beautifully presented here with original cover art, a biography, and a long preface by the editor, Edwin Ginn (d. 1914.) Let this work reach out from the ancient world and change you. $1.99 Available in .pdf and mobipocket formats .pdf mobipocket Reflections on Life by Dr. Alexis Carrel Completed after his death in 1951, Reflections on Life is a stern wake-up call by Dr. Carrel to civilization to embrace "Rules of Life" that will help humanity continue on as a civilization into the future. Harsh at times, filled with both science and religion as well as cultural analysis and criticism of pop culture, this is strong philosophical medicine for a sick civilization. And the one thing it isn't is boring. Dr. Alexis Carrel was behind some of the great surgical advances of the 20th century, including the creation of the first artificial heart.
