""The Garden of Epicurus"" is a novel by French author Anatole France. The book tells the story of a young man named Euphorion who, disillusioned by the corruption and hypocrisy of society, decides to join a group of philosophers in a garden modeled after the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus. In this idyllic setting, Euphorion learns about the teachings of Epicurus, which emphasize the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain. As he becomes more immersed in the philosophy, Euphorion begins to question his own beliefs and values, and ultimately finds a new sense of purpose and meaning in life. Along the way, he encounters a cast of colorful characters, including a beautiful courtesan, a cynical philosopher, and a wise old gardener.
