{"product_id":"9781411428249","title":"Meditations (Barnes \u0026 Noble Library of Essential Reading)","description":"\u003ci\u003eMeditations\u003c\/i\u003e is Marcus Aurelius' private book of reflections, written over a series of years in far-flung places as he led the Romans in military campaigns, quashed revolts, and dealt with the other tribulations of governing the Empire. It is best described as a spiritual journal, containing a record of Marcus' philosophical exercises. The book is interesting as an example of Stoic thought and is valuable for historical reasons as a document of the inner life of a remarkable Roman emperor. It remains compelling, however, because it bears witness to a profound journey of the human spirit and speaks to us across the millennia about perennial human problems.","brand":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140814094576,"sku":"9781411428249","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781411428249_p0.jpg?v=1769894709","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781411428249","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
