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⊙ Perrin英译本 smouldering with a lingering flame of Zeus-sent fire, And that Solon was not proof against beauty in a youth, and made not so bold with Love as ‘to confront him like a boxer, hand to hand,’ may be inferred from his poems. He also wrote a ...
评分先大致看了下别人的评论，然后下来电子版想要仔细看看到底是好是坏。结果亚历山大的传记刚看了几页就实在读不下去了。 作者对古文词汇了解得比较多（或许是台湾那边对于半文半白的词语保留得比大陆多的缘故，比如“学殖”一词我就是第一次看到有人用），古文...
