Author: Boethius Publisher: World Publications Group Inc () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good - edges of dust jacket have some wear, but the book is otherwise in fine condition. Binding: Hardcover with dust jacket Pages: 170 Dimensions: 23.5 x 16 x 1.7 cm +++ by Boethius +++ The book was written during the one year imprisonment Boethius served while awaiting trial, before his execution. Boethius wrote Consolation as a dialogue between himself and Philosophy, depicted as wise and compassionate woman. The Consolation of Philosophy is regarded as a literary masterpiece that makes lofty philosophical ideas understandable to non-philosophers.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books.
