On Old Age. On Friendship. On Divination (Loeb Classical Library)

I am a fan of Cicero, and I plan to collect all the Loeb Library volumes. I have read so many excerpts from this treatise, so it's exciting to finally read the original. The English translation, however, is very elaborate. As I switch back and forth between Latin and English, I wonder where the English came from because I sure don't see it in the Latin! Nonetheless, this book is a must-have for any Latinist.

Cicero, new more about how the world works 2000 years ago than 99% of the people due today.

As I enter advanced old age at 79, this book helped me by providing very thoughtful and sensitive insights into the reality of the situation. I read both of these works at the university. Reading both now at the other end of the spectrum is a much more intense experience.

Classic Cicero! Given to one of my son’s friends in Latin class, this book is timeless and encourages practicing Latin!

The book arrived quickly and in great shape.

This volume of Cicero covers Friendship, Divination and Old Age. All these topics are relevant to me in my study of late Roman friendship, age and religion in my Research Degree. It has the usual Loeb qualities of ease of reading and convenience - even though the translation is a bit dated.

I've spent a lifetime with LOEB translations in Greek and Latin. I appreciate how the then-translators fit in their day-to-day work with that of translating. That information in itself makes continuing the "traditio" sacred in itself.

Those who don't know Cicero should get acquainted. His wisdom on old age and friendship are as useful today as in his times.
