A splendid new translation of one of the greatest books on friendship ever written
In a world where social media, online relationships, and relentless self-absorption threaten the very idea of deep and lasting friendships, the search for true friends is more important than ever. In this short book, which is one of the greatest ever written on the subject, the famous Roman politician and philosopher Cicero offers a compelling guide to finding, keeping, and appreciating friends. With wit and wisdom, Cicero shows us not only how to build friendships but also why they must be a key part of our lives. For, as Cicero says, life without friends is not worth living. Filled with timeless advice and insights, Cicero's heartfelt and moving classic--written in 44 BC and originally titled De Amicitia--has inspired readers for more than two thousand years, from St. Augustine and Dante to Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Presented here in a lively new translation with the original Latin on facing pages and an inviting introduction, How to Be a Friend explores how to choose the right friends, how to avoid the pitfalls of friendship, and how to live with friends in good times and bad. Cicero also praises what he sees as the deepest kind of friendship--one in which two people find in each other "another self" or a kindred soul. An honest and eloquent guide to finding and treasuring true friends, How to Be a Friend speaks as powerfully today as when it was first written.-- "Paradigm Explorer"Binding Type: Hardcover

An Interesting New Work
Format: Paperback
I liked this work a great deal. It offered a great deal of intense story-driven moments and some great action scenes, and the art was pretty good (I won't say it was incredible, but it was very good). The story is intriguing, and after this first volume, a short arc has been fulfilled while leaving a lot of big questions unanswered in a fulfilling but still tantalizing way. I am perfectly satisfied with the serving size here and with the size of the book, and am happy to have added this to my shelf. Glad to have taken a chance on something new.

I'm so confused, and I LOVE IT!
Format: Kindle
Like many previous reviewers have stated, I have no idea what is going on yet, but I'm itching to find out. So far, this series is amazing. Hopefully it continues down that path in Vol. 2.
