About De Brevitate Vitae – Seneca
A quiet reading edition of On the Shortness of Life. Written in the first century, Seneca’s essay is a clear introduction to Stoic philosophy. Its central idea is simple: life is not short — we make it short by scattering our attention. The work remains strikingly relevant in an age of constant distraction. Presented as a book rather than a platform: stable pages, minimal interface, and typography intended for long reading sessions. Available in multiple languages and translations. No advertisements, no accounts, no tracking. Fully offline and always free.
What’s new
Version 1.7 · Updated July 25, 2026
The translation has been reviewed across all its languages — restoring a few passages that had been dropped, and softening phrasing that read stiffly against Seneca’s Latin. Books open smoothly again, with a quiet note while the pages are set, and changing the type size or theme settles at once. On iPad, the reading controls now line up with the text.
