The Complete Works of Lucius Annaeus Seneca is a fresh and compelling series of new English-language translations of his works in eight accessible volumes. Edited by world-renowned classicists Elizabeth Asmis, Shadi Bartsch, and Martha C. Nussbaum, this engaging collection restores Seneca--whose works have been highly praised by modern authors from Desiderius Erasmus to Ralph Waldo Emerson--to his rightful place among the classical writers most widely studied in the humanities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnger, Mercy, Revenge comprises three key writings: the moral essays \u003ci\u003eOn Anger\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOn Clemency\u003c\/i\u003e--which were penned as advice for the then young emperor, Nero--and the \u003ci\u003eApocolocyntosis\u003c\/i\u003e, a brilliant satire lampooning the end of the reign of Claudius. Friend and tutor, as well as philosopher, Seneca welcomed the age of Nero in tones alternately serious, poetic, and comic--making \u003ci\u003eAnger, Mercy, Revenge\u003c\/i\u003e a work just as complicated, astute, and ambitious as its author.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45034339664023,"sku":"9780226748429","price":3369.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780226748429.webp?v=1769210502","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/anger-mercy-revenge-9780226748429","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
