A Fable About Marcus Aurelius<\/span><\/h3>\n

From the number-one\u00a0New York Times<\/span>\u00a0best-selling author and creator of\u00a0The Daily Stoic,<\/span>\u00a0Ryan Holiday…<\/p>\n

…comes one of the most incredible stories in all of history. A young boy, out of nowhere, is chosen to be the emperor of most of the known world.<\/p>\n

What he learns, what he does, who he is, will echo in eternity.<\/p>\n

In 138 AD, Hadrian, the emperor of Rome, chooses Marcus Aurelius to succeed him. He knows no one was born ready for the job, so he arranges for the young boy’s education. The greatest philosophers of the day are assigned to teach him, and all throw themselves into crafting him into a great leader.<\/p>\n

It’s a parable for life: The gods choose something for us, call us to something. Will we answer? Will we step up? Will we achieve the greatness within us?<\/p>\n

Marcus Aurelius did. Absolute power not only didn’t corrupt, it made him better.<\/p>\n

And now, a story for the ages is illustrated and told for all ages in\u00a0The Boy Who Would Be King.<\/span><\/p>\n
