About the book

Plutarch's Lives presents paired biographies of important Greek and Roman statesmen, generals and political figures. Rather than concentrating only on dates and events, Plutarch is particularly interested in character, morality and the personal qualities that shaped public action. His portraits of figures such as Alexander, Caesar and Cicero became enormously influential on later historical and biographical writing.
