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.

評分誠然,商務的翻譯質量是很高的,而且學術態度也很嚴謹,但是一般認為普魯塔剋的文風應該是類似於西塞羅的,也就是說應該是文采飛揚,氣勢不凡的。可是我在這本書裏很難找到這種風格,隻感受到一股濃濃的學術氣息,好像是在讀論文,而不是在讀一本激勵瞭無數人的名人傳記。從這...
評分我喜歡看作者在寫一本書時,不管是熱情洋溢的、浪漫想象的,還是平靜從容地,他們背後的那個自我闡述的強烈的動機:Just like it. 從前的“英雄”是不包括哲學傢、詩人、文學傢...而之後行動的人的。 普魯塔剋在某篇傳記中大緻意思說:我們看到那些恢弘的神廟建築,看到那凝神...
