Emperor'S Handbook, the: A New Translation of the Meditations Hardcover – 26 Nov. 2002

This is the real deal. Glad I bought this book. As the title says it is more of a handbook in which one can flick through random pages at any time and read a few lines. Whilst reading the original, like many I struggled to understand the ye olde english at times but this new translation by the Hicks brothers is fantasticaly easy to understand whilst still holding true to the teaching of the original.A must buy for any man

So much to learn from this book. It’s one of those books in which you can never read too much of it.

eveyone should read it, sound commonsense

inspired book !!

Amazing.....

There are many translations of Marcus Aurelius's work available and quite a few fall into the trap of being accurate translations of the semantics rather than conveying the spirit of the book. This new work avoids that pitfall without committing gross injustices against the original ancient Greek. The serious student should have more than one translation, I recommend this one and the Farguharson version. All leaders of governments and corporations should be compelled to study the words of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus Caesar, one time emperor of Rome.
