Synopsis
Plutarch defined for all ages the character of Greek and Roman moral identity. He studied what constitutes the best in a human being, and which, in turn, determines a person s role in the world. Blending history and biography, Plutarch evokes the characters of great leaders in history. He systematically pairs a Greek with a Roman, comparing characters and lives with similar careers so as to serve his particular goal of moral instruction. In vivid prose, he describes the awesome spectacle of the actions of men of enormous desires and ambitions responding to impossible situations.", Plutarch defined for all ages the character of Greek and Roman moral identity.

    The books were exactly as advertised and were delivered in perfect condition. For second hand books they were high quality books, basically brand new in appearance. I rate the purchase as excellent value. I live in Australia and the books came from USA. They were very well packaged. I highly recommend this seller.

    This seller was a delight to deal with, the item was exactly as described, and the cellar went above and beyond the call and actually delivered me some extra books that he threw in, i never had anyone gift me several books. After I made a two book purchase, what a generous soul, thank you again, and I will continue to purchase and look at the store, and would be honored to give him my business.
