Know about the book -

The Consolation of Philosophy is written by Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius and published by Harvard University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0674028457 (ISBN 10) and 9780674028456 (ISBN 13).

Composed while its author was imprisoned, this book remains one of Western literature’s most eloquent meditations on the transitory nature of earthly belongings, and the superiority of things of the mind. Slavitt’s translation captures the energy and passion of the original. And in an introduction intended for the general reader, Seth Lerer places Boethius’s life and achievement in context.
