Produktbeschreibung
Among the works produced by Walter Pater, a critic, and essayist from Victorian England, is the novel "Marius the Epicurean, Vol. 1: His Sensations and Ideas." Throughout its pages, readers get taken on a journey through the life of Marius, a man of noble birth who lived during the time of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. With a spotlight on Marius's emotional and cognitive processes, the novel dissects his pursuit of purpose and fulfillment through the various experiences and intellectual explorations he undergoes. The aestheticism of Pater's writing style, replete with its emphasis on sensuous detail and the art of language itself, is unmistakable throughout the book. Moreover, the narrative incorporates notions of philosophy, specifically Stoicism, in the way it navigates Marius's struggle to balance his yearning for pleasure with his quest for a profound purpose. Exploring the themes of aesthetics and spirituality, 'Marius the Epicurean, Vol. 1: His Sensations and Ideas' is a novel that is both thought-provoking and complex in nature.

Autorenporträt
English essayist, literary critic, and story writer Walter Pater was born in 1839 and died in 1894. He is known for his contributions to the English aesthetic movement, especially his writings about how art relates to life. Marius the Epicurean, which came out in 1885 in two parts, is his best-known work. Marius the Epicurean is a book about a young Roman man named Marius who is looking for a way of life that will make him truly happy. The book looks at faith, philosophy, art, and the search for happiness. Marius is presented in the first book, "His Sensations and Ideas," as a young boy who grew up in a strict Christian home. He becomes interested in the world of pagans and tries to figure out what life is all about through art, writing, and philosophy.
