Meditations by the great emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius Antoninus is one of the most sought-after works of philosophy, admired for centuries by thinkers and statesmen.

Written during a campaign, the work is a series of challenging spiritual and ethical reflections composed for the exploration of the emperor's self. Through his exercises in understanding the world, the reader can delve into his own life for a clearer picture of his desires and spirituality.

The book abounds in wisdom, practical guidance, and a profound understanding of human behaviour and reveals to the modern reader the thoughts of an enlightened ruler that are as relevant today as in the days of its composition.
