Description
1778 Plutarch Parallel Lives Alexander the Great Romulus Brutus Theseus French

“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.” ― Plutarch

‘Plutarch’s Lives’ or ‘Parallel Lives’ is one of the most important and comprehensive collection of biographies of famous Greek and Roman figures. Plutarch was not so much focused on providing a historical account of these famous individuals as much as he was seeking to write of the type of person they were and the life in which they lived. He focuses on Alexander the Great, Romulus and Remus, Demosthenes, Cicero, Brutus, Julius Caesar, and many other important figures.

These volumes come from the complete 12-volume French set published by Humblot in Paris. First Humblot edition.
