Reading group “L’ami du Prince” by Marianne Jaeglé

Once a month, the reading group meets up to discuss a couple of books selected in advance (from classical to contemporary French literature) and discovers other members’ views on them. Meetings take place at the Institut français d’Écosse, usually on the last Tuesday of the month.

About the book:

Marianne Jaeglé’s “L’ami du Prince” takes as its guiding thread the confession of a man caught in his own contradictions: Seneca, a philosopher enamored of virtue, who for fifteen years was the tutor, advisor and then friend of Nero, before the emperor ordered his death.
