Amazing insight into one of the greatest minds humans have ever had

Essential reading, especially if you believe in the Stoic ideology. This translation - Gregory Hays' - is the best.

Good

It arrived in the same box of other items I ordered (others items wear heavy), without even some plastic cover to protect it. Good thing it is a hardcover, it only had some scratches a little tear.

The binding and cover quality is terrible.
