Book Synopsis Of Consolation to Helvia by : Seneca
Book excerpt: This is a letter written by Seneca, a Roman Philosopher. It is translated by Aubrey Stewart. "Consolation to Helvia" is written to Seneca's mother while he was exiled in Corsica by Emperor Claudius. After being accused of adultery by the new empress Messalina, he was exiled for eight years. His writing explicates how he can find grace in his life situation and offers suggestions to his mother on how to deal with his ongoing absence. Even though it was written as a private letter, it is full of wisdom that is still relevant today.
