Críticas

Fine and effective, the translation is remarkable for accuracy, clarity, precision of detail, and concision, the last a remarkable feat, in view of the concentrated nature of Seneca's Latin, inevitably inviting expansive explanatory renderings. -- Roland Ferri "Bryn Mawr Classical Review" (01/26/2005)
