Sobre la vejez

This lecture by Jacob Grimm, translated for the first time into Spanish, shares with Cicero's classic text an optimistic and serenely happy vision of old age. The two authors faced with the pain of a recent loss, Cicero that of their beloved daughter and Grimm that of his brother, are able to get over it to talk to us about the advantages of reaching an age where we can enjoy the pleasures of life from a calmer and less demanding way. The satisfaction of a full life, the ability to appreciate the day to day, walks, readings or work in the garden, turn from the hand of the great Roman philosopher and the German philologist into a courageous and calm eulogy of that stage of the life.
