The Dream of Scipio is set in Provence at three different critical moments of Western civilization. It asks the question, Can you save something you value while at the same time compromising your values? "Power without wisdom is tyranny; wisdom without power is pointless," says one of the characters. This book is a thought-provoking meditation on philosophy, conducted through the ages.
