lovely translation, she captured their different writing styles very well. I particularly enjoyed letters 17, 20, 23, 25, 30, 37 (although his grape opinions....wrong), 39 (<3), and the footnotes for 44. The introduction and the footnotes are extremely well written and make the book very accessible for the general reader, which I appreciated. I can't speak for any expert classicists, but I imagine it could be enjoyed by them also. Really great whether you want to learn about Roman sexuality or just read some letters from a "sentimental friendship".

I loved this. Filled with love and longing and yearning. Definitely strange to read such a young and flirtatious Marcus Aurelius - a shockingly stark contrast to the man of the Meditations. I’m immensely glad to have read this collection of letters.
