Description

Plutarch's Lives, The Complete 48 Biographies (Deluxe Library Edition) is a collection of 48 biographies that explore the lives and character of famous men from ancient Greece and Rome. Written in tandem to highlight their common moral virtues or failings, these biographies offer valuable insights into the individuals described as well as the times in which they lived. The work consists of 23 pairs of biographies, each featuring one Greek and one Roman of similar destiny, such as Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, or Demosthenes and Cicero. By examining the lives of these notable figures, Plutarch aimed to demonstrate that the more remote past of Greece could provide valuable lessons for understanding the achievements and character of famous men. This deluxe library edition features a comprehensive collection of Plutarch's biographies, offering a unique window into the lives and values of ancient Greece and Rome.
