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.

评分俺一直在等待商务平行传记的中、下出版,不过这一等就是十几年。在遥远的过去,俺耗费巨资,买下这本平行传记——商务的名字叫《希腊罗马名人传》,这个翻译当然更贴切,虽然俺还是喜欢管他叫平行传记——的上册。后来俺不思悔改,又买下伏尔泰的《风俗论》的上册。好在过了不...
