Download or read book Cicero s Laelius written by Marcus Cicero and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is true friendship? That is the question Cicero sought to answer in this, one of his most famous dialogues. The great Roman statesman and philosopher argues that without virtue, as defined by the Greeks, friendship is a mere mask for self interest. Cicero completed this dramatised treatise in 44 BC, which he set in 129 BC, in the period following the death of Scipio Aemilianus. The speakers are Scipio's friend Laelius, and his two sons-in-law, Fannius and Scaevola, the latter of whom taught law to Cicero himself. This edition presents simultaneously a free and a literal translation. In addition, Cicero's original Latin is interlined with the English, making this work not only valuable for its intrinsic message, but also for the vivid insight it gives into one of the greatest languages to have been devised by the human mind. With this book, even if you know little or no Latin, you will be able to read and understand the very words Cicero wrote over two thousand years ago.

Download or read book How to Be a Friend written by Marcus Tullius Cicero and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A splendid new translation of one of the greatest books on friendship ever written In a world where social media, online relationships, and relentless self-absorption threaten the very idea of deep and lasting friendships, the search for true friends is more important than ever. In this short book, which is one of the greatest ever written on the subject, the famous Roman politician and philosopher Cicero offers a compelling guide to finding, keeping, and appreciating friends. With wit and wisdom, Cicero shows us not only how to build friendships but also why they must be a key part of our lives. For, as Cicero says, life without friends is not worth living. Filled with timeless advice and insights, Cicero’s heartfelt and moving classic—written in 44 BC and originally titled De Amicitia—has inspired readers for more than two thousand years, from St. Augustine and Dante to Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Presented here in a lively new translation with the original Latin on facing pages and an inviting introduction, How to Be a Friend explores how to choose the right friends, how to avoid the pitfalls of friendship, and how to live with friends in good times and bad. Cicero also praises what he sees as the deepest kind of friendship—one in which two people find in each other “another self” or a kindred soul. An honest and eloquent guide to finding and treasuring true friends, How to Be a Friend speaks as powerfully today as when it was first written.

Download or read book Milton as Multilingual Selected Essays 1982 2004 written by John K. Hale and published by Humanities-Ebooks. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published by Otago University Press in 2005. The book brings together seventeen essays by John Hale on topics ranging from Milton's verse paraphrase of Psalm 114 in 1624, at the age of 15, to his rearrangement of Paradise Lost along arguably Virgilian lines in 1674, the year of his death. Fourteen of the essays were published previously from 1982-2003 in geographically scattered journals, some of them not readily accessible. Three new essays on the theological treatise De Doctrina Christiana are included and, together with an essay of 2003, they apply the subject of multilingualism to that work. The essays are grouped into five sections - "Composing,""Language-Arts,""Self-Understanding,""Paradise Lost and its Early Reception,"and "De Doctrina Christiana and Language-Issues."Brief preambles or headings are added to each section and an "Afterword"follows each chapter. This five-part structure and the new preambles and Afterwords invest the volume with a rationale, shaping it into a book in its own right.
