Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Inglés. This novel is inspired by real events and real people. It is set in the Ohio Pen ("the walls"), though some of the events actually took place at the Marion Correctional Institution, and follows a group of inmates who meet weekly to study the teachings of the Greek philosopher Epictetus, a former slave during the Roman Empire. Epictetus used the experience to make himself wiser and stronger instead of bitter and angry. The men of the club are led by a lifer named Zeno, a former professional boxer who compares thinking skills to boxing skills, pointing out that our opponent is always our own thoughts and attitudes. He teaches the men the ABCs of Inner Boxing, where one identifies the attacking thought, blocks it, and counterpunches it. Zeno also guides the men through the Ten Rounds to Freedom. The walls of the pen are literal for the inmates, but also represent our own limited thinking and comfort zones. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
