Summary

A lo largo de la historia, algunos libros han cambiado el mundo. Han transformado la manera en que nos vemos a nosotros mismos y a los demás. Han inspirado el debate, la discordia, la guerra y la revolución. Han iluminado, indignado, provocado y consolado. Han enriquecido vidas, y también las han destruido. Taurus publica las obras de los grandes pensadores, pioneros, radicales y visionarios cuyas ideas sacudieron la civilización y nos impulsaron a ser quienes somos.
 
¿Cómo podemos ser felices y libres a pesar de las vicisitudes de la vida? En esta obra maestra del pensamiento estoico, también conocida como Enquiridión, Epicteto nos invita a centrarnos en controlar solo lo que dependa de nosotros y aceptar lo que venga de fuera. Basándose en ejemplos prácticos y cotidianos, el libro condensa los principios del estoicismo, la corriente filosófica que busca la tranquilidad del espíritu, de la que, junto con Marco Aurelio y Séneca, Epicteto es el máximo representante.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves and others. They have inspired debate, discord, war, and revolutions. They have illuminated, outraged, provoked, and comforted. They have enriched lives, but they have also destroyed them. Taurus publishes the works of great thinkers, pioneers, radicals, and visionaries, whose ideas shocked civilizations and pushed us to be who we are.
 
How can we be happy and free despite life’s hardships? In this masterpiece of stoic thinking, also known as the Enchiridion, Epictetus invites us to focus on controlling nothing but what is up to us and accept what comes from external forces. With practical and everyday examples, the book summarizes the principles of stoicism, a philosophical current that searches for a serenity of spirit, a current of which, along with Marcus Aurelius and Seneca, Epictetus is the topmost representative.
