But a look for curiosity's sake into this new translation has led me to read it all with genuine pleasure. “The Meditations is a work I disliked for its flaccid piety and self-concern from the time I read it years ago. No translation does the Emperor's Meditations better or nobler justice.” –J osiah Bunting II Superintendent, Virginia Military Institute “Timeless, magnificent, simple: the essential book on character, leadership, duty. Americans should read Marcus – and this new edition now makes it a joy.” –Victor Davis Hanson, Professor of Classics at California State University “This new, accessible translation by Scot and David Hicks of the emperor's famous Stoic handbook reflects far better the flavor of Marcus Aurelius's own style. This is a fantastic achievement.” –Steve Forbes
