    At once a psychological novel and a meditation on history, "Memoirs of Hadrian" is written in the form of a testamentary letter from the Roman Emperor Hadrian (76-148 A.D.) to his successor, the youthful Marcus Aurelius.

Hadrian appears as one of the Western world's greatest liberals, a humanist who based man's chances of happiness and security on the culture that was Greece and the great organizing power that was Rome.
