Marcus Aurelius: The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius

The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius


Description

Marcus Aurelius was Emperor of Rome from 161 - 180 AD. His rule was absolute and - as the lives of other Emperors reveal only too clearly - he was able, with impunity, to indulge in any vice, crime or licentious behaviour he chose. Yet Marcus Aurelius resisted all such temptations, thanks to his belief in stoic philosophy. In The Meditations, (which was never intended for public view), Aurelius examines his inner nature, intimately describing his flaws and talents, and admonishing himself to live a good life. It is astonishing that this book exists - filled with great wisdom, and written by a Roman Emperor who reaches out over almost 2000 years to speak with us about the mysteries of life and death.

It is the late 21st century, and with the death of the unloved King Edward the Ninth the British monarchy is ended. The political establishment is republican. The tradition of many centuries is over. But in Scotland, one young man, James Stuart, discovers the remarkable truth about his own origins. It is a truth which has implications far beyond the ambitions of those in Westminster who would reshape the country, and one which will revive an ancient struggle for the destiny of Britain.

Candid, humble, wry and gutsy, he begins with his crossroads moment when at 24 he decided to start his own business.
