Title The Epicurean: A Tale
Note Reading ease score: 56.2 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
Summary "The Epicurean: A Tale" by Thomas Moore is a novel written in the early 19th century. The narrative revolves around the philosophy of Epicureanism, exploring themes of pleasure, mortality, and the quest for immortality through the eyes of a young protagonist who is chosen as the leader of the Epicurean sect in Athens. The protagonist's inner turmoil and existential musings set the stage for a rich exploration of human desires and the philosophical debates surrounding life and death. The opening portion of the novel introduces the protagonist, a young Epicurean philosopher, as he reflects on the pleasures of life while grappling with an underlying melancholy regarding mortality. Set against the backdrop of a grand festival celebrating their philosophy, he revels in the beauty of the gardens and the camaraderie of fellow epicureans. However, a dream prompts him to seek eternal life in Egypt, where he believes the secrets of immortality may lie hidden. As he embarks on his journey, the narrative hints at the perils and trials he will face in his pursuit, intricately weaving supernatural and philosophical elements into his quest for understanding life itself.
