This wonderful book contains a translation of Plutarch's 'Lives' told in
simple language with a special topic index. Plutarch's seminal work upon
which this text is based, provided an illustration of Greece and Rome
that has been immortalised in the works of Shakespeare and of Goldsmith;
a picture of Greece and Rome which no research or criticism has ever
quite been able to dissipate. Written in clear, concise language, this
wonderful text makes for a great addition to any personal library, and
is one not to be missed by the discerning collector. The chapters of
this book include: The Hardy Men of Sparta, The Wise Men of Athens, The
Just Man, The Savior of Athens, The Admiral of the Fleet, The Man who
Made Athens Beautiful, Three Powers, The Man With many Faces, In Olden
Persia, A Lame King... as well as others. This antiquarian volume is now
republished complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
