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

Tre leveregler for et godt liv. «Den beste måten å hevne seg på er å ikke bli lik den som har gjort deg urett.».

The world of the book

En notatbok skrevet langt fra Roma. Keiser Marcus Aurelius tilbringer flere år ved Donau, elven som danner rikets nordgrense.
