The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius

Composed while its author was imprisoned, this book remains one of Western literature s most eloquent meditations on the transitory nature of earthly belongings, and the superiority of things of the mind. Slavitt s translation captures the energy and passion of the original. And in an introduction intended for the general reader, Seth Lerer places Boethius s life and achievement in context.
