A brilliant book. If I only could read it in the original French. The one issue is that I find Hadrian's visions of the future to be a bit too on the nose, but it's not a major issue. (I know its to give him that ‘touch of the divine', but still....). Anyone who has good knowledge of Greco-Roman history and literature should enjoy.
A fun book. A good beginner's guide to Plato, and ancient Greek philosophy in general.
