The Discourses report wide-ranging discussions between Epictetus and his students.

Beautiful Cover, but disappointing translation,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Discourses (Paperback)
The text was downloaded from some Internet site, enlarged, which is okay, but contains no references or commentary. Therefore, I decided to go with Harvard's Loeb Classics to purchase the two volumes of Epictetus' Discourses. They are fantastic, and you can get them through Amazon.com!
