Sinopse
Marius the Epicurean is a philosophical novel by Walter Pater (published 1885), set in the Rome of the Antonines. It elaborates Pater's ideal of the aesthetic life, his cult of beauty tempered by asceticism, and his theory of the stimulating effect of the pursuit of beauty as an ideal in itself.
