Timeless, magnificent, simple: the essential book on
character, leadership, duty. No translation does the Emperor's
Meditations better or nobler justice.
Kenneth L. Woodward author of The Book of Miracles David and
Scot Hicks have endowed serious readers with a marvelous new
translation of a text that still challenges any society that hopes
to understand what it means to be civilized.
Jacques Barzun author of From Dawn to Decadence The
Meditations is a work I disliked for its flaccid piety and
self-concern from the time I read it years ago. But a look for
curiosity's sake into this new translation has led me to read it
all with genuine pleasure. The philosophical observations are the
same but the tone is manly and there is a subtle and agreeable
variety as the subject changes from self to the world and to the
gods.
