"This quietly ambitious and beautifully achieved novel is one of the most convincing historical novels I have ever read." --Hilary Mantel, Booker Award-winning author of Wolf Hall
"[Lyon] has shaped history into a narrative not only gripping, but also accessible and poignant, even tender.... Here we have a novel that is brave enough to raise the universal questions about how a man should live his life." --The Boston Globe
Keenly intelligent and brilliantly rendered, The Golden Mean is a bold reimagining of one of history’s most intriguing relationships—that between the legendary philosopher Aristotle and his most famous pupil, Alexander the Great.
Aristotle is initially reluctant to set aside his own ambitions in order to tutor the rebellious son of his boyhood friend, Philip of Macedon. Still, the philosopher soon realizes that teaching this charming, surprising, and sometimes horrifying teenager is a necessity amid the ever more sinister intrigues of Philip’s court. But as Alexander grows older and becomes a man who will transform the world for better or for worse, Aristotle, like any teacher, ponders his own culpability.
