Amazing book, nice binding and page quality is also very good.

It's very good book explaining about philosophy of stoicism and very informative

The book is purely profound and there are ground-breaking insights throughout the book. However, the exact interpretation of what the writer is conveying is sort of hard to get because the book is translated in Archaic english, which is the older version of english and the translation quality is not that appreciable. After reading, it is a magnanimous task to comprehend it in your brain. However, this book provides us the essence of stoicism. As Marcus Aurelius was the last renowned stoic philosopher, his writings also include the works of other philosophers who lived before him. It is one of the finest texts ever produced by mankind.

By accident, we stumble upon some books. Nowadays, I don't visit bookstalls or libraries. I skip through fast when I come across book reviews. Oddly, I got introduced to "Meditations" while surfing the net for something related to Psychology. What attracted my attention was the fact that a book by an author who lived during AD 121 (Born on April 26) to AD 180 (Died on March 17) is still live in the media. If his thoughts got compiled and now they are available in book form (*Published in 2026) the book is special. As usual, when I received the book, I started reading pages selected at random. The 17 page introduction more or less covering the life and times of Marcus Aurelius, literally made me curious to read the book from cover to cover. We need not agree with the views expressed almost 1900 years ago or dig for rationale for the statements made in the situation prevailing then. Still we can accept the reality that gods were not blindly believed then or now and people tried to know more and some who could realise truth tried to share the wisdom with seekers.

The book i received was in good condition, fonts are very clear to read and page quality is also decent and clear.

The quality and print are fine for the price, and George Long gets the translation technically correct. But Marcus Aurelius comes through… in Elizabethan English. Every line reads like a cryptic lecture: “thyself,” “whensoever,” “henceforth.” You spend more energy decoding the sentences than actually learning how to live. If your goal is actionable Stoicism—discipline, resilience, decision-making—this edition will slow you down. It’s a reference, not a manual. Use it to check quotes or study Marcus academically. For practical application, go with Gregory Hays or Ryan Holiday.
