To think Boethius wrote this while awaiting to be executed, after being falsely accused of treason. As one would expect, he was feeling rather badly about the whole situation. He has a vision of a beautiful woman who brings him around. Step by step through prose and poetry, Philosophy helps Boethius to understand his life, and the value of it.

I will be reading this again.
