The vivid, magisterial and long-awaited biography of Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor - and embodiment of the philosopher's king - whose life and works still speak to us 2,000 years after his death.
Frank McLynn is the author of many critically acclaimed books, including Napoleon, 1066, Villa and Zapata, Wagons West, Stanley, 1759 and Lionheart and Lackland.
A compendious and thought-provoking study
*The Mail on Sunday*
Impressively well-researched and unfailingly engaging
*The Irish Times*
McLynn has written a huge, erudite survey of the social, cultural,
economic and political world of the second century AD rather than a
mere biography of Marcus Aurelius...there is much to enjoy here and
even more to be learned
*Literary Review*
By exposing the real Marcus Aurelius, this biography illuminates an
important era of transition...it was under Marcus that the delicate
balance was disturbed and this, too, is his legacy.
*TLS*
A flickering torch in the darkness, and with his fine biography,
Frank McLynn tends the flame.
*Scotsman*
