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2015年2月至5月阅读此书。 这是极其痛苦的三月，每天都在阅读这样一部巨著。盼望着何时可以完结，终于，这一天到了。 学习历史最简单的方法应该是编年史，然后国别史和记传体。但我却反着来，所以觉得特别困难。 其实在本书最后，有大事年表。如果现行阅读这部分，对全书的...
