1662 PLUTARCH Parallel Lives FINE BINDING Alexander the Great la Serre RARE
“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.
This 1662 edition was collected and edited by Jean Puget de La Serre.
