Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Marius the Epicurean — Volume 1" by Walter Pater is a philosophical novel written between 1881 and 1884. Set in second-century Rome, it follows a young patrician's intellectual and spiritual journey through a time of uncertainty. Marius explores various philosophies—from Epicureanism to Stoicism—while encountering the emerging Christian faith. As he questions each system's ability to provide meaning, he moves from youthful hedonism toward something deeper, guided by friendship, beauty, and an elusive sense of peace he glimpses in unexpected places.
