ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves and others. They have inspired debate, discord, war, and revolutions. They have illuminated, outraged, provoked, and comforted. They have enriched lives, but they have also destroyed them. Taurus publishes the works of great thinkers, pioneers, radicals, and visionaries, whose ideas shocked civilizations and pushed us to be who we are.

How can we be happy and free despite life's hardships? In this masterpiece of stoic thinking, also known as the Enchiridion, Epictetus invites us to focus on controlling nothing but what is up to us and accept what comes from external forces. With practical and everyday examples, the book summarizes the principles of stoicism, a philosophical current that searches for a serenity of spirit, a current of which, along with Marcus Aurelius and Seneca, Epictetus is the topmost representative.
