{"product_id":"meditations-9781324096399","title":"Meditations","description":"Acclaimed poet and translator Aaron Poochigian's vibrant new translation of Marcus Aurelius' \u003cem\u003eMeditations\u003c\/em\u003e captures and accentuates an aspect of the best-selling work of classical antiquity that other English translations have, remarkably, overlooked: Marcus' distinct, varying voices. There's Marcus the aspirant, speaking encouragingly to himself as a diarist might; Marcus the instructor, exhorting and chiding himself as a \"you\" that includes us all; Marcus the stylist, spinning memorable, quotable epigrams; and Marcus the philosopher, opining about the \"human commonwealth\" of which we are all members. This multivocal chorus is apparent to all who can read the original Koine Greek text, but Poochigian's sensitive ear has captured it in English as no translator has before. The result is a \u003cem\u003eMeditations\u003c\/em\u003e that is as pleasurable to read as it is profound--a revelation even to readers who think they know it well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcus Aurelius\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.11h x 5.11w x 1.01d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324096399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePoochigian, Aaron:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eAaron Poochigian\u003c\/strong\u003e has published four books of poetry and several translations, including \u003cem\u003eAristophanes: Four Plays\u003c\/em\u003e (2021) and \u003cem\u003eStung with Love: Poems and Fragments\u003c\/em\u003e by Sappho (2009).
