Description
|
|
|
|
The author of such critically acclaimed biographies as Richard & John: Kings at War and Napoleon: A Biography here gives us Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (121–180 AD), one of the great figures of antiquity, whose life and words still speak to us today. Aurelius' Meditations remains one of the most widely read books from the classical world, and his life represents the fulfillment of Plato's famous dictum that mankind will prosper only when philosophers are rulers.
