"Les vies parallèles", second Cahiers mystiques

This second edition of the "Les Cahiers mystiques" collection introduces us to the thought of a major protagonist of Antiquity. Marcus Aurelius, a witness of Stoic philosophy, addresses to us intimately personal reflections on man and his destiny. The artistic book presents two texts enriched by an etching by André Beuchat. The engraved image represents a human tower in perpetual motion, symbolic image of life related to time and perhaps this constant desire to follow the freedom of the wise, and beyond that,  the happiness.
