Annotation:
"James Romm takes us up close to death with Seneca for his guide. Don't be afraid, be prepared--be very prepared."--Mary Beard, author of SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome
"Beautifully translated by James Romm, Seneca speaks to us so directly about the fraught and difficult subject of death that we may find ourselves forgetting to breathe."--Francine Prose
"This well-chosen collection of Seneca's writings on death demonstrates James Romm's gift for making the people and ideas of antiquity vivid for general readers. The introduction is graceful, the translations are accurate and readable, the annotations are nicely judged, and the epilogue featuring Tacitus's account of Seneca's suicide is indispensable."--Robert A. Kaster, Princeton University
