Emperor Julian: The Noblest of Men

A personal, intimate account of Julian the Apostate. Watch the bookish student of philosophy grow into a military commander, seize imperial power, throw off his Christian disguise, return to the worship of the ancient gods, and initiate a series of bold reforms.

Other biographers have focused on religious and political issues, but Krawczuk gives us Julian the man: the writer of thousands of letters, the lover of books, the earnest striver for virtue, the loyal friend of loyal friends.

We hear the voices of the age: the rhetors, scholars, philosophers, theologians, priests, and historians who knew Julian, witnessed the events firsthand, sometimes even shaped them; and above all, in Julian's own voice: his letters, essays, speeches, and edicts.

We get to know the man like a friend.
