Moral thoughts of old age, friendship, duties. Ready to cross the Rubicon

Mark Tullius Cicero, an outstanding Roman lawyer and statesman, was elected by the consul, was proclaimed the Senate as the father of the Fatherland, and the soldiers of the province entrusted to him, the imperial. However, in the memory of the descendants, he remained primarily as a wonderful speaker and scientist-educator.
The book contains the philosophical treatises of Cicero that have not lost relevance: "On old age", "On Friendship" and "On Duties". The author convincingly proves that true philosophy strengthens friendship, promotes moral improvement, and also fills with new meaning the inevitable hardships of life: old age, pain of loss, loss of loved ones and the expectation of his own death
