Reads as if it was written in the 21st ce! Seneca is the most "modern writer" of all the ancient writters.Seneca delves deeply into the most important subjects of Life: Friendship,Love,Death,name it. The selection by Campbell is wonderful,as well as the order in which he puts the letters/excerpts. I also think that this is the best ever translation of Seneca into English.The prose shines throughout. Clarity,rationality,beauty.
