Book excerpt: This is a letter written by Seneca, a Roman Philosopher. It is translated by Aubrey Stewart. "Consolation to Helvia" is written to Seneca's mother while he was exiled in Corsica by Emperor Claudius. After being accused of adultery by the new empress Messalina, he was exiled for eight years.

Even though it was written as a private letter, it is full of wisdom that is still relevant today.
