Description
The Letters of the Younger Pliny offers a unique glimpse into life in Imperial Rome through the personal letters of Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus, better known as Pliny the Younger.
Written to a wide circle of friends and family, including prominent figures such as Tacitus and Emperor Trajan, these lively and very personal letters address an astonishing range of topics, from everyday life in Rome to observations on the early Christians.
This Penguin Classics edition features a definitive modern translation by Betty Radice, accompanied by her introduction which sheds light on the shrewd, tolerant and occasionally pompous man who emerges from these letters.
