Keenly intelligent and brilliantly rendered, "The Golden Mean
"is a bold reimagining of one of history's most intriguing
relationships--that between the legendary philosopher Aristotle and
his most famous pupil, Alexander the Great.
Aristotle is initially reluctant to set aside his own ambitions in
order to tutor the rebellious son of his boyhood friend, Philip of
Macedon. Still, the philosopher soon realizes that teaching this
charming, surprising, and sometimes horrifying teenager is a
necessity amid the ever more sinister intrigues of Philip's court.
But as Alexander grows older and becomes a man who will transform
the world for better or for worse, Aristotle, like any teacher,
ponders his own culpability.
