Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

De Amicitia, also known as On Friendship, is a philosophical treatise written by the ancient Roman statesman and orator, Marcus Tullius Cicero, in 44 BC. This book is a reflection on the nature of friendship and its importance in human life. Cicero draws on the wisdom of Greek philosophers to argue that true friendship is based on virtue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to the common good. He explores the different types of friendship, the qualities of a good friend, and the benefits of friendship for personal happiness and social harmony. The book is written in a conversational style and is addressed to his close friend, Atticus. It is considered one of the most influential works on friendship in Western literature and has inspired many subsequent writers and thinkers.
