L. Annaeus Seneca On Benefits: Edited By Aubrey Stewart This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Autorenporträt

Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger (c. 4 BC - AD 65), who was usually just called Seneca, was a Stoic philosopher from ancient Rome. He was also a politician, a playwright, and, in one work, a humorist. He lived during the time after Augustus. In Spain, Seneca was born in Corduba. He grew up in Rome and learned speech and philosophy there. He had an older brother named Lucius Junius Gallio Annaeanus and a nephew named Lucan. His father was Seneca the Elder. In 41 AD, Seneca was sent to the island of Corsica by Emperor Claudius as a prisoner. He was allowed to come back in 49 AD to work as a teacher for Nero. When Nero became emperor in 54, Seneca became his advisor. For the first five years of Nero's rule, Seneca and the praetorian prefect Sextus Afranius Burrus ran the government well. Over time, Seneca's power over Nero decreased. In 65, Seneca had to kill himself because he was accused of being involved in the Pisonian plot to kill Nero, even though he was probably not guilty. Many paintings have been made about his calm and stoic death.
