Sinossi
Boezio fu un'eminente figura pubblica sotto l'imperatore goto Teodorico e un eccezionale studioso greco. Quando fu coinvolto in una cospirazione e fu imprigionato a Pavia, si rivolse ai filosofi greci. LA CONSOLAZIONE fu scritta nel periodo che precedette la sua brutale esecuzione. È un dialogo di prosa e versi alternati tra il prigioniero malato e la sua "nutrice" Filosofia. Le sue istruzioni sulla natura della fortuna e della felicità, del bene e del male, del fato e del libero arbitrio, gli ristabilirono la salute e lo portarono all'illuminazione. LA CONSOLAZIONE fu estremamente popolare in tutta l'Europa medievale e le sue idee influenzarono il pensiero di Chaucer e Dante.
