Plutarch's Lives, written at the beginning of the second century A.D., is a brilliant social history of the ancient world by one of the greatest biographers and moralists of all time. In what is by far his most famous and influential work, Plutarch reveals the character and personality of his subjects and how they led ultimately to tragedy or victory. Richly anecdotal and full of detail, Volume I contains profiles and comparisons of Romulus and Theseus, Numa and Lycurgus, Fabius and Pericles, and many more powerful figures of ancient Greece and Rome.
The present translation, originally published in 1683 in conjunction with a life of Plutarch by John Dryden, was revised in 1864 by the poet and scholar Arthur Hugh Clough, whose notes and preface are also included in this edition.

评分我喜欢看作者在写一本书时，不管是热情洋溢的、浪漫想象的，还是平静从容地，他们背后的那个自我阐述的强烈的动机:Just like it. 从前的“英雄”是不包括哲学家、诗人、文学家...而之后行动的人的。 普鲁塔克在某篇传记中大致意思说：我们看到那些恢弘的神庙建筑，看到那凝神...
