Sobre este e-book
Named 12/1/2014 by the Wall Street Journal as one of year's six "best books on making the most of later life," Cicero's classic On Old Age is now adapted, explained, and updated to today's world. “Getting old is not for sissies”: the mortal words of Bette Davis. And somewhat the theme of Marcus Tullius Cicero's On Old Age. Except that Cicero did not believe in denying aging or hiding its effects. What he believed has been passed on for generations and still speaks to a modern world.
Now De Senectute can be read with a real understanding of it, explained and presented to the contemporary reader. Adapted by Richard Gerberding, a retired professor of history and director of Classical Studies at the University of Alabama at Huntsville, Cicero's essay makes sense and is lively and witty. More than sixty clever illustrations by Lance Rossi add to the enjoyment.
Part of the Journeys & Memoirs Series from Quid Pro Books. Also available in new paperback and hardcover editions.
