ET TU BRUTE: THE BEST LATIN LINES EVER (HB)

'Carpe diem'; 'Stet'; 'Memento mori'; 'Et tu Brute' – just some of the Latin words and phrases we might hear in everyday English. But how often do we know where they came from, or what they meant to the Romans? This book explores the background and context of these phrases and others – many of them humorous, others a rich source of wisdom. Themed chapters include: Life's Misfortunes and how to deal with them; How to deal with old age; Why Death is nothing to fear; The Stoic guide to life.
