Selbsterkenntnis ist der erste Schritt zur Weisheit auf Wegen des Zweifels, der Irrtümer, des Staunens und der Überraschungen. Unterwegs auf diesem Weg begegnen wir uns selbst.

Nietzsche), "Gespräche" (Konfuzius).

Franz Werfel gelang 1924 mit seinem Komponisten-Roman „Verdi" ein gleichermaßen spannendes wie profundes Werk über kreative Originalität, menschliche Größe und den Kampf um ein Leben im Einklang mit sich selbst. „Macbeth" ist wohl das geradlinigste Stück von William Shakespeare: Ein Mann ohne Skrupel mordet sich zum grausamen Titel: absolute Herrschaft, absolute Macht – ein Drama von zeitloser Brisanz.

"De la brevedad de la Vida", es un ensayo de Séneca, en el que el autor utiliza la prosa epistolar para dar a conocer, en veinte breves apartados, sus pensamientos filosóficos sobre la vida. Séneca plantea y desarrolla una paradoja, pues, frente a la idea generalizada de que la vida es breve, él considera que es larga si se sabe vivir de acuerdo con la razón, en el camino de la sabiduría y la virtud. Lo que exige no dejarse arrastrar por las pasiones y las obligaciones no rectas. Probablemente esta obra estuvo influenciada por la experiencia de sus años de destierro.

No scripts, no "pastor voices"—just honest conversations about the beautiful, frustrating, and holy reality of following Jesus when it's also your job.

This is the second volume of the Letters, Epistles LXVI-XCII. Among the personalities of the early Roman Empire there are few who offer to the readers of to-day such dramatic interest as does Lucius Annaeus Seneca, the author of the Epistles. These letters, written by Seneca towards the end of his life, are all addressed to his friend Lucilius, who, at the time when these letters were written, was a procurator in Sicily. The form of this work, as Bacon says, is a collection of essays rather than of letters. Summary paraphrased from the Introduction in Volume 1 by Suprad.
