Summary:
"In the tradition of Logicomix, Donald J. Robertson's 'Verissimus' is a riveting graphic novel on the life and stoic philosophy of
Marcus
Aurelius
.
Marcus
Aurelius
was the last famous Stoic of antiquity but he was also to become the most powerful man in the known world - the Roman
emperor
. After losing his father at an early age, he threw himself into the study of philosophy. The closest thing history knew to a philosopher-emperor, yet constant warfare and an accursed plague almost brought his empire to its knees. "Life is warfare", he wrote, "and a sojourn in foreign land!" One thing alone could save him: philosophy, the love of wisdom! The remarkable story of
Marcus
Aurelius
' life and philosophical journey is brought to life by philosopher and psychotherapist Donald J. Robertson, in a sweeping historical epic of a graphic novel, based on a close study of the historical evidence, with the stunning full-color artwork of award-winning illustrator Zé Nuno Fraga."--From publisher.
