Plutarch. Parallel Lives II: Lysander  Sulla. Timoleon  Aemilius Paulus. Pyrrhus  Gaius Marius
Category: Ancient Greek authors
Language: Bulgarian

 
   The edition contains three new, unpublished in Bulgarian biographical pairs from Plutarch's Parallel Lives. In the life stories of his characters, the author also weaves the modern ideas of his time about the important bond between personal and public good that guarantees the well-being of the state and the immortality of the statesman. The portraits of his heroes facing great challenges in life are set against the cultural and historical scene from early Athenian democracy to the late Roman Republic. In addition to being an exemplar of artistic quality, the Parallel Life Paintings are an invaluable source for the first Greek and Roman legislators, of celebrated statesmen and military leaders. And the deeper one goes into the reality of their lives, the higher Plutarch sets the standard for future European fiction. For great narratives  from Shakespeare's historical dramas to Foucault's Lives of the Inglorious Men  following or resisting Plutarch's imaginative world  have helped to shape the intellectual, moral, and aesthetic values of modern European civilization.
