A historical and philosophical novel by Walter Pater, written between 1881 and 1884, published in 1885 and set in 161-177 AD, in the Rome of the Antonines. It explores the intellectual development of its protagonist, a young Roman of integrity, in his pursuit of a congenial religion or philosophy at a time of change and uncertainty that Pater likened to his own era. The narration is third-person, slanted from Marius's point of view, added to which are various interpolated discourses, ranging from adaptations of classical and early Christian writings to Marius's diary and authorial comment.

Among the works produced by Walter Pater, a critic, and essayist from Victorian England, is the novel "Marius the Epicurean, Vol. 1: His Sensations and Ideas." Throughout its pages, readers get taken on a journey through the life of Marius, a man of noble birth who lived during the time of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. With a spotlight on Marius's emotional and cognitive processes, the novel dissects his pursuit of purpose and fulfillment through the various experiences and intellectual explorations he undergoes. The aestheticism of Pater's writing style, replete with its emphasis on sensuous detail and the art of language itself, is unmistakable throughout the book. Moreover, the narrative incorporates notions of philosophy, specifically Stoicism, in the way it navigates Marius's struggle to balance his yearning for pleasure with his quest for a profound purpose. Exploring the themes of aesthetics and spirituality, 'Marius the Epicurean, Vol. 1: His Sensations and Ideas' is a novel that is both thought-provoking and complex in nature.

This novel is a practical guide through different philosophical teachings. A reader learns them by life examples of Marius's fictional personality, whose life sets him in other circumstances to test his changing beliefs. The story is based in Rome, where Greek philosophy and early Christianity live beside. A typical citizen could be closely familiar with Plato, Socrates, Epicurus, or Aristippus. A series of life events, the loss of a mother, studying at boarding school, disease, visiting Rome, and life at the court of Marcus Aurelius, the first acquaintance with Christianity, allows Marius to try out different philosophical teachings prove their flaws and merits. First, Marius is fascinated by epicureanism but thinks it lacks depth. Then, he is fascinated by stoicism but later sees it as too cruel. Finally, Marius comes to learn the doctrines of Christianity, which give him spiritual peace. This story could happen in Rome and is very interesting. It shows how different philosophical teachings can shape ordinary people's real-life routines and behavior now and then.
