书籍简介

普鲁塔克写过许多题材的作品。最受欢迎的一直是《46个平行人生》，尽管最后四个人都是单身，这本传记计划成双结对(每一对中有一个希腊人物和一个类似的罗马人物)。是我们了解希腊和罗马政治家、士兵和演说家的生活和性格的宝贵资料。普鲁塔克现存的许多不同的作品，大约有60部，被称为Moralia或道德散文。除了对哲学、伦理和宗教感兴趣的人有用外，它们还具有很高的文学价值。

洛布经典图书馆版的《道德小品》 共十五卷，第十三卷分为两部分。

Plutarch (Plutarchus), ca. 45–120 CE, was born at Chaeronea in Boeotia in central Greece, studied philosophy at Athens, and, after coming to Rome as a teacher in philosophy, was given consular rank by the emperor Trajan and a procuratorship in Greece by Hadrian. He was married and the father of one daughter and four sons. He appears as a man of kindly character and independent thought, studious and learned.

Plutarch wrote on many subjects. Most popular have always been the 46 Parallel Lives, biographies planned to be ethical examples in pairs (in each pair, one Greek figure and one similar Roman), though the last four lives are single. All are invaluable sources of our knowledge of the lives and characters of Greek and Roman statesmen, soldiers and orators. Plutarch’s many other varied extant works, about 60 in number, are known as Moralia or Moral Essays. They are of high literary value, besides being of great use to people interested in philosophy, ethics, and religion.

The Loeb Classical Library edition of the Moralia is in fifteen volumes, Volume XIII having two parts.
