review:
'Verissimus: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius' by Donald J. Robertson with art by Ze Nuno Fraga is a graphic novel telling the life of the Roman ruler.
This book tells of the rise of one of the more powerful Caesars. When his father died, he was drawn to philosophy and that informed his life. Some of his ideas alienated him to those closest to him, but he was able to be a good leader.
at 272 pages, it's a fairly long graphic novel, but I found the story fascinating and enjoyed it. The art was nothing outstanding but serves the story adequately.
I received a review copy of this title from St. Martin's Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
