| adam_text | Worried that old age will inevitably mean
losing your libido, your health, and pos-
sibly your marbles too? Well, Cicero has
some good news for you. In How to Grow
Old, the great Roman.orator and statesman
eloquently describes how you can make the
second half of life the best part of all — and
why you might discover that reading and
gardening are actually far more pleasur-
able than sex ever was. . . . :
Filled with timeless wisdom and practical
guidance, Cicero s brief,. charming clas-
sic— written in 44 BC and originally titled
On Old Age—has delighted and inspired
readers, from Saint Augustine to Thomas
Jefferson, for more than two thousand
years. Presented here in a lively new trans-
lation with an informative new introduction
and the original Latin on facing pages, the
book directly addresses the greatest fears of
growing older and persuasively argues why
these worries are greatly exaggerated — or
altogether mistaken. : :
Montaigne said Cicero s book gives
one an appetite for growing old. The
American founding father John Adams read
it repeatedly in his later years. And today
its lessons are more relevant than ever in
. a world obsessed with the futile pursuit of
youth.
* i* r : v , - is the editor and transla-
tor of How to Win an Election: An Ancient
Guide for Modern Politicians and How
to Run a Gountry: An Ancient Guide for
Modern Leaders (both Princeton). He is the
author of many books, including Oh My
Gods: A Modern Retelling of Greek and Ro-
man Myths, Alexander the Great, and Julius
Caesar (all Simon Schuster). He holds the
Orlando W. Qualley Chair of Classical Lan-
guages at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa.
