Either way, the vulgarity reflects that of which the Apostle Paul speaks on in Romans 1. Five Stars LOVE IT Great reading This book was one of the easiest readings for me in my Philosophy course. It's my all time favorite and still have it on top of my desk. I would highly recommend this reading to those individuals that like to think out side the box and view love in a different ways. Great! Book was better quality than expected especially for the price Four Stars Arrived quickly - new and as advertised

The Meditations: An Emperor's Guide to Mastery Audiobook by Sam Torode, Ancient Renewal, Marcus Aurelius

Marcus Aurelius (121-180 CE) was one of the few true philosopher-kings in history. His father died when Marcus was three. At age fifteen, he was adopted by Emperor Antoninus Pius, putting him in the line of succession; and at 40, Marcus became a reluctant emperor of the Roman Empire. Marcus was reluctant because the demands of being emperor - on top of the temptations of wealth and power - seemed incompatible with his true ambition: to be a humble student of philosophy. Over time, though, Marcus worked out a practical philosophy that kept him grounded amidst the stresses and excesses of palace life. That's why his philosophy is so relevant to us today, in the modern world. The Meditations is a collection of Marcus' personal journal entries. They were not intended for publication but to remind Marcus himself of his principles and priorities. As a result, they are intimate, direct, and extremely useful. This new edition is rendered in contemporary English, with a foreword by Sam Torode. A companion volume, The Manual: A Philosopher's Guide to Life, is also available from Ancient Renewal. Members Reviews: My favorite audio version This is easily the best audio version of a book I personally recommend to anyone looking into philosophy.

Throughout the story, Herodotus includes colorful descriptions of Egypt, as well as tales of lake dwellers in Europe and even a dog that can heal the ill and ants that dig gold from the earth.

Although there are questions as to the accuracy of his histories, Herodotuss accounts do provide snapshots of that time period in history.
