"[The Complete Works of Lucius Annaeus Seneca] brings together many preeminent anglophone scholars of Seneca as editors and translators and succeeds in its aim to reach a wider audience through readable, modern English translations. . . . The overall high quality of the translations and notes make this volume (and its respective series) highly desirable for scholars and libraries alike."-- "Classical Journal" "We owe a debt of gratitude to Chicago for this one-volume selection of essays from long ago, which still have the power to stimulate our minds today."-- "Classics for All" "A significant improvement over what has been available in English of the previous century. . . . The translations presented here admirably achieve the aim set out by the series' editors: 'to be faithful to the Latin while reading idiomatically in English.' . . . Hardship and Happiness is a handsome volume, beautifully conceived and executed."-- "Review of Metaphysics"
