Plutarch's Lives Volume One (Barnes & Noble Library of Essential Reading)
Plutarch's Lives Volume One (Barnes & Noble Library of Essential Reading) | Plutarch
3 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
Plutarch defined for all ages the character of Greek and Roman moral identity. He studied what constitutes the best in a human being, and which, in turn, determines a person s role in the world. Blending history and biography, Plutarch evokes the characters of great leaders in history. He systematically pairs a Greek with a Roman, comparing characters and lives with similar careers so as to serve his particular goal of moral instruction. In vivid prose, he describes the awesome spectacle of the actions of men of enormous desires and ambitions responding to impossible situations."

Mehso-so

No clue what I‘m doing awake at 1:30 am, even the cats asleep, but I finished the first volume of Plutarch‘s Lives. 49 hours of reading over two months and 4 days. I can‘t say I recommend it, but it does end at the best part - Crassus‘s loss of his life and entire army to the Parthian horsemen in the Battle of Carrhae in 53 bce.

pdever With all due respect (and advance apology) to classicists ... that sounds like a real project! 6y
Graywacke @pdever a strange one too. 🙂 6y

I‘m not entirely sure what I‘m doing by voluntarily reading this, but I do appreciate the opening sentence (there‘s a period in there eventually)

Mtroiano Good luck! 6y
Graywacke @Mtroiano thanks! 😳 (😊) 6y

A little late posting this but my last two B&N hauls, one was for my birthday! I am thrilled about these lovelies and I am hooked on these i-Clips! I just need to get the second volume of Plutarch‘s Lives. All the books in the bottom left photo we‘re all less than $3 (thank you clearance and B&N membership)!!
