"Meditations in Private" is a personal record of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, made in the 70s of the new era. The emperor kept a diary in which he reflected on the concepts of citizenship, duty, honour, conscience, loyalty and justice. On the pages of this extraordinary document, we can see the intense work of a personality to master the philosophy of the Stoics and to develop the Stoic tradition in practice.

Thus, Marcus Aurelius' diary is one of the first examples of self-improvement literature in human history. That is why "Meditations in Private" by Marcus Aurelius has become one of the most popular monuments of world literature.

The work of the ancient philosopher and empire leader attracts modern readers with wise reasoning, imagery and sometimes surprisingly relevant practical recommendations.
