Written at the beginning of the second century, Plutarch’s collection of accounts of the lives of noble Grecians is a brilliant social history of the ancient world by one of the greatest biographers and moralists of all time. Still inspiration after 19 centuries, Plutarch’s Lives offers a unique insight into the characters as well as the achievements of men who influenced their age and the empires that their culture dominated. As accessible now as when first written, Naxos AudioBooks’ premiere recording of these selections from Plutarch’s Lives will be a welcomed addition to our catalog of classic texts.
