Book summary

In the midst of wars and the cares of power, Marcus Aurelius, Emperor of Rome, wrote notes for himself alone, to stay calm and just. In them he reminds himself of what really matters: doing your duty, accepting what you cannot change, and not letting others disturb you.

These thoughts help us step back from everyday difficulties, and keep calm when everything around us is in turmoil.

Short and clear, they can be read one by one, at your own pace, in the language you are learning.

The plot

Drie stelregels om goed te leven. “De beste manier om je te wreken is niet te worden zoals wie je onrecht heeft gedaan.”.

The world of the book

Een notitieboek, geschreven ver van Rome. Keizer Marcus Aurelius brengt jaren door aan de Donau, de rivier die de noordgrens van het Rijk vormt.
