About this book
On the Good Life gathers essays and speeches by Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC), the Roman statesman and orator whose prose set the standard for Latin and for European thought on duty, friendship, and the good life. The selection draws on works like On Duties, On Friendship, and the dream of Scipio, the writings through which Cicero transmitted Greek philosophy to Rome and, through Rome, to the whole West. He was killed in the proscriptions of 43 BC; his words outlasted every man who ordered his death. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
