| Summary |
This is the story of Hipparchia, one of the first women to become a philosopher. Greece, the fourth century BCE. Hipparchia travels to Athens to meet the rich son of a prominent family to whom she hopes to be married. But she also encounters a strange philosopher who lives on the streets. And as the marriage draws nearer, she becomes increasingly captivated by Crates' ideas and way of life. Torn between the traditional expectations of Greek society and a philosophical movement that propagates a minimalist lifestyle and opposes all social ranks, standards and conventions, Hipparchia finds herself questioning everything she's been taught to believe. But where does true happiness lie? With this winning portrait of a contrarian rebel, Barbara Stok's The Philosopher, the Dog and the Wedding shows that some stories, however ancient they are, remain relevant to this day. |
