Description

In French.

Plutarch's 'Lives of the Noble Greeks and Roman's, commonly called Parallel Lives or Plutarch's Lives, is a series of biographies of famous men written in the late 1st century.

The surviving Parallel Lives contain twenty-three pairs of biographies, each pair consisting of one Greek and one Roman, and additional single lives.

It is a work of considerable importance, not only as a source of information about the individuals mentioned, but also about the times in which they lived.
