Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Essays of Plutarch includes 133 chapters on nature, Plutarch's Symposiacs, as well as his collection of literary essays. Plutarch was a Platonist, but was open to the influence of the Peripatetics, and in some details even to Stoicism despite his criticism of their principles. He rejected only Epicureanism absolutely. He attached little importance to theoretical questions and doubted the possibility of ever solving them. He was more interested in moral and religious questions. Plutarch's writings had an enormous influence on English and French literature. Shakespeare paraphrased parts of Thomas North's translation of selected Lives in his plays, and occasionally quoted from them verbatim. Plutarch's influence declined in the 19th and 20th centuries, but it remains embedded in the popular ideas of Greek and Roman history. One of his most famous quotes was one that he included in one of his earliest works. "The world of man is best captured through the lives of the men who created history." This cloth-bound book includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket, and is limited to 100 copies.

This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plutarch, later named, on his becoming a Roman citizen, Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus, c. 46 - 120 AD, was a Greek historian, biographer, essayist, and Middle Platonist known primarily for his Parallel Lives and Moralia. Plutarch lived most of his life at Chaeronea, and his duties as the senior of the two priests of Apollo at the Oracle of Delphi (where he was responsible for interpreting the auguries of the Pythia) apparently occupied little of his time. He led an active social and civic life while producing an extensive body of writing, much of which survived. By his writings and lectures Plutarch became a celebrity in the Roman Empire. At his country estate, guests from all over the empire congregated for serious conversation, presided over by Plutarch in his marble chair. Many of these dialogues were recorded and published, and the 78 essays and other works which have survived are now known collectively as the Moralia. Plutarch's best-known work is the Parallel Lives, a series of biographies of famous Greeks and Romans, arranged in pairs to illuminate their common moral virtues and vices. The surviving Lives contain 23 pairs, each with one Greek Life and one Roman Life, as well as four unpaired single Lives. Some of the Lives, such as those of Heracles, Philip II of Macedon and Scipio Africanus, no longer exist; many of the remaining Lives are truncated, contain obvious lacunae or have been tampered with by later writers. Extant Lives include those on Aristides, Pericles, Pompey, Julius Caesar, Cicero, Cato the Younger, Mark Antony, and Marcus Junius Brutus, all of which are included here.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives: Translated From the Original Greek; With Notes, Critical and Historical and a Life of Plutarch Where the text of Plutarch appeared to them erroneous, they have spared no pains, and neglected no means in their power to rectify it. Sensible that the great art of a translator is to prevent the peculiarities of his Author's language from stealing into his own, they have been particularly attentive to this point, and have generally endeavored to keep their English unmixed with Greek. At the same time it must be observed, that there is frequently a great simi larity in the structure of the two languages; yet that resemblance, in some instances, makes it the more necessary to guard against it on the whole. This care is of the greater consequence, because Plutarch's Lives generally pass through the hands of young people, who ought to read their own language in its native purity, unmixed and untainted with the idioms of different tongues. For their sakes too, as well as for the sake of readers of a different class, we have omitted some passages in the text, and have only signified the omission by asterisms. Some, perhaps, may censure us for taking too great a liberty with our Author in this circumstance: However, we must beg leave in that instance to abide by our own opinion; and sure we are, that we should have censured no translator for the same. Could everything of that kind have been omitted, we should have been still less dissatisfied; but sometimes the chain of the narrative would not admit of it, and the disagreeable parts were to be got over with as much decency as possible. In the descriptions of battles, camps and sieges, it is more than probable that we may sometimes be mistaken in the military terms. We have endeavored, however, to be as accurate in this respect as possible, and to acquaint ourselves with this kind of knowledge as well as our situations would permit; but we will not promise the reader that we have always succeeded. Where something seemed to have fallen out of the text, or where the ellipsis was too violent for the forms of our language, we have not scrupled to maintain the tenor of the narrative, or the chain of reason, by such little insertions as appeared to be necessary for the purpose. These short insertions were at first put between hooks; but as that deformed the page, without answering any material purpose, we soon rejected it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 1 of 6: Translated From the Original Greek; With Notes Critical and Historical, and a Life of Plutarch This translation, M. Ricard informs us, was preceded by one in. Italian from the pen of Sansoveno; and was drily re-translated (as Boileau severely remarks) in the following century by the abbe Tallemant. The version of Amyot, from it's deservedly-high cha racter, has been frequently reprinted. Of the two editions of it recently given to the public, one had the honour of being super intended by, MM. Brotier and Vauvilliers, of whose notes some use IS made in the present work; and is farther recommended shall I say, or encumbered - by all the grandeur of modern typo graphy.

Download or read book Plutarch s Lives written by Plutarch Plutarch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives: Clough's Translation The historical unity has been steadily kept in mind, and it is believed that nothing of importance has been sacrificed in the omissions. While there may be a difference of opinion as to whether the man makes the epoch or the epoch the man, it will be generally agreed that the personality of a great man will always prove one of the most interesting and useful centers around which to group historical events. A few brief notes have been given, supplying such information only as may not be readily gathered from the text. In looking up special information on any point, one is apt to get too much interested in the matter, and so annotate much more fully than is necessary for the under standing of the text. Notes are often, in this way, more harmful than helpful, as they tend to draw the pupil's attention from the proper object of study. It may be worthy of mention that Plutarch rarely ever gives a date, which would seem to indicate that in his mind dates were of very little importance compared with the facts themselves.
