City of Cats

By: Max Diksztejn

It's A.D. 384, the dawn of the Christian monotheistic state. Emperor Theodosius has decreed the Nicene version of Christianity the exclusive religion of the Empire; allegiance to any other interpretation of Christianity or any form of paganism is subject to criminal prosecution. In this setting Lupicinus, powerful advisor to the Pope, who lives a duplicitous life as a clandestine non-believer, and Saturnine, the unconverted wife of a Christian senator who secretly writes against the Church, are brought together and their lives changed forever by Kharapan, a Stoic philosopher from a remote land outside the Empire, where the Hellenistic schools of philosophy still thrive. This one decisive year shows the soul-rending decisions people make when the course of history is against them, and highlights the philosophic way of life that once flourished in Western culture before monotheism came to dominate the known world.
