Наедине с собой. С комментариями и иллюстрациями

Sovremenniki nazyvali Marka Avrelii͡a pravednikom na trone, ravnogo kotoromu eshche ne bylo. Imperator byl preispolnen glubochaĭsheĭ li͡ubvi k li͡udi͡am, smirenii͡a, dobroty i velikodushii͡a.Nesmotri͡a na to chto emu prikhodilosʹ bytʹ vsegda na vidu, vesti gosudarstvennye dela, uchastvovatʹ v voennykh pokhodakh, on chasto iskal uedinenii͡a, nakhodi͡a ego vnutri sebi͡a.Tak rodilasʹ kniga razmyshleniĭ 'Naedine s soboĭ', kotorui͡u on pisal vsi͡u zhiznʹ. Ėto istorii͡a ego dushi: rassuzhdenii͡a, otdelʹnye mysli, sovety potomkam. Popytka razobratʹsi͡a v sebe, v sushchnosti chelovecheskoĭ zhizni.Do sikh por temy dobra i zla, smysla bytii͡a i neizbezhnosti smerti, povedenii͡a li͡udeĭ i ikh otnosheniĭ, zatronutye v knige, ostai͡utsi͡a aktualʹnymi, a interes chitateli͡a k ėtomu pami͡atniku literatury Drevnego Rima - neizmennym.

Contemporaries called Marcus Aurelius a righteous man on the throne, the equal of which was not yet. The Emperor was filled with the deepest love for people, humility, kindness and generosity.Despite the fact that he had to be always in sight, conduct state affairs, participate in military campaigns, he often sought solitude, finding it inside himself.Thus was born the book of reflections 'Alone with myself', which he wrote all his life. This is the story of his soul: arguments, individual thoughts, advice to posterity. An attempt to understand yourself, the essence of human life.Until now, the themes of good and evil, the meaning of life and the inevitability of death, the behavior of people and their relationships, touched upon in the book, remain relevant, and the reader's interest in this monument of Ancient Roman literature remains unchanged.
