Unjustly imprisoned and awaiting execution, Boethius, Roman philosopher and statesman, would write his most famous work, “The Consolation of Philosophy”. Boethius explores the problem of evil, the certainty of pain and suffering, and the unpredictability of good and bad fortune, but shows how, through wisdom and virtue, happiness and serenity are still attainable. In the Middle Ages, for 400 years, “The Consolation” was one of two books considered so important they were expected to be in everyone’s personal library. The other book was The Holy Bible.
