The Girl Who Would Be Free: A Fable About Epictetus

The Girl Who Would Be Free: A Fable About Epictetus is the illustrated sequel to The Boy Who Would Be King, written by Ryan Holiday for all ages. It recasts the life of the Stoic philosopher Epictetus as the story of a girl born into slavery in the ancient world, who finds freedom through philosophy. More than 100 drawings by illustrator Victor Juhasz accompany the text, along with a map of places linked to Epictetus and his teacher Musonius Rufus.
