Plutarch's Parallel Lives, Vol. I (Paperback)

Before leadership books, there were lives worth studying.

Nearly two thousand years ago, Plutarch asked what power reveals about character. In Parallel Lives, he places great figures of Greece beside Rome, examining ambition, courage, judgment, discipline, pride, loyalty, and failure.

Volume I begins at the foundations: Theseus and Romulus, Lycurgus and Numa, Solon and Publicola, Themistocles and Camillus, Pericles and Fabius Maximus, Alcibiades and Coriolanus, Timoleon and Aemilius Paulus.

These are lives of city-builders, lawmakers, commanders, rivals, and public figures whose private character shaped public history.

This restored and modernized edition preserves the moral complexity and human scale of Plutarch's work.

The empires are gone. The questions of character remain.
