Beschreibung

In Walter Pater's 'Marius the Epicurean', readers are immersed in a compelling tale of a young Roman man named Marius who embarks on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. The novel is written in a form similar to a philosophical dialogue, allowing Pater to explore complex ideas such as the pursuit of beauty, the tension between aestheticism and asceticism, and the nature of faith. Pater's lyrical prose and attention to detail create a vivid depiction of ancient Rome, making the reader feel as though they are walking the streets alongside Marius. 'Marius the Epicurean' is a literary milestone that bridges the gap between philosophy and fiction, offering profound insights into the human experience.
