The Enchiridion (‘handbook’) of Epictetus is one of the most well-known and best-loved works of ancient Greek literature. Based on the solid theoretical foundation of Stoic thought, this is indeed a highly accessible handbook giving practical advice on how to live a better life. It is as relevant now as ever it was. This pocket-size edition of the classic work is presented in a lucid, jargon-free new translation, with a thought-provoking introduction by contemporary philosopher Matthew Talbert. Typeset with Boatwhistle’s customary panache, this edition is as elegant as it is engrossing.
