Le Operette morali sono una raccolta di ventiquattro componimenti in prosa, divise tra dialoghi e novelle dallo stile medio e ironico, scritte tra il 1824 ed il 1832. Riflessione filosofica ed empito poetico fanno sì che Leopardi, al pari di Schopenhauer e più tardi di Kafka, possa essere visto come un esistenzialista o almeno un precursore dell'EsistenzialismoI temi sono quelli cari al poeta: il rapporto dell'uomo con la storia, con i suoi simili e in particolare con la Natura, di cui Leopardi matura una personale visione filosofica.

Questo è il sentimento che riempie di sé tutta l'opera leopardiana: la desolata nostalgia d'una felicità sconosciuta ed assurda, la disperata aspirazione verso un mondo migliore. Nelle più riuscite fra le "Operette", come nei "Canti", la poesia non nasce dalla brutta realtà ma dal vano bisogno di superarla... Così nelle "Operette" come nei "Canti" questa realtà grigia si disegna sul fondo luminoso di un ideale: e l'impressione dominante è quella di una delusione non rassegnata.

Though best known now for his collection of lively and vivid Parallel Lives from ancient Greece and Rome, Plutarch (c46 CD-120 CE) was, for centuries, more respected for his Moralia, a remarkable and wide-ranging collection of essays and speeches. No fewer than 78 in total, they range over a broad list of topics in which Plutarch observes, dispenses wisdom, admonishes, entertains and informs: covering social issues and politics, manners and religion - in short, life in general.

In his dialogues, the Stoic philosopher Seneca outlines his thoughts on how to live in a troubled world. Tutor to the young emperor Nero, Seneca wrote practical philosophical exercises that draw upon contemporary Roman life and illuminate the intellectual concerns of the day. The dialogues also have much to say to the modern listener, as they range widely across subjects such as the shortness of life, tranquility of mind, anger, mercy, happiness, and grief at the loss of a loved one.

Le Operette Morali, il libro "più caro dei miei occhi" come lo definì lo stesso Leopardi, sono una raccolta di prose e dialoghi di carattere satirico, fantastico e filosofico, scritte tra il 1824 e il 1832, in cui lo scrittore e poeta tenta di educare un'Umanità incapace di guardare in faccia la realtà e che si culla in vane illusioni. Leopardi si sforza, a volte con spietatezza ed ironia, di "chiarirgli" quale sia il suo destino. Le Operette sono considerate uno dei capolavori della letteratura italiana di tutti i tempi.

The book is one of the most influential ethical treatises of all time. Written in 350 BC, it identifies happiness as life's goal. How do we achieve this goal? Not through the satisfactions that come from pleasure, wealth, or fame. According to Aristotle, the true path to happiness lies in contemplation of philosophic truth. This is the only action through which humans can exercise their distinctively unique trait: the ability to reason.

"It takes an entire lifetime to learn how to die", wrote the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca (c. 4 BC-65 AD). He counseled readers to "study death always", and took his own advice, returning to the subject again and again in all his writings, yet he never treated it in a complete work. How to Die gathers in one volume, for the first time, Seneca's remarkable meditations on death and dying. Edited and translated by James S. Romm, How to Die reveals a provocative thinker who speaks with a startling frankness about the need to accept death or even, under certain conditions, to seek it out.
