He served as tutor and then adviser to the emperor  Nero, witnessing firsthand many crimes and debaucheries. His  experiences led him to turn away from public life and retreat into  philosophical contemplation. A leading proponent of Stoicism, he has  influenced writers and thinkers throughout the centuries.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeneca's letters and essays are ideally suitable for intermediate- level Latin students. Written in a clear and crisp style, they are universal in scope and psychological in orientation. For this edition, M. D. Usher has arranged the selections by theme, length, and degree of difficulty. Usher also provides line-by-line notes on grammar, style, and content, and a vocabulary listing all Latin words found in the texts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52685570375960,"sku":"9780806137445","price":18.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-students-seneca-ten-letters-and-selections-from-de-providentia-and-de-vita-beata-paperback-softback-9780806137445","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
