Reviews

"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"
