The Consolation of Philosophy: A Norton Critical Edition (Norton Critical Editions)

Interesting historical read. The morals were really great. I enjoyed it.

A great edition. Every westerner ought to read this book, if only to be literate in his cultural heritage, as The Consolation of Philosophy was one of the most popular books in the West for around a thousand years or so.

Essential

The translation, notes, and background materials really helped this document come alive for me.

It was what I needed for school

Trying to describe this book in such a short review would put me even more at risk of trying to eff the ineffable than Boethius himself. As in Plato's Allegory of the Cave, you can't know there until you go there.
