Plutarkhos - Mielen tyyneydestä, Ljudbok
Iätöntä viisautta mielenrauhan saavuttamisestaJuhana Torkin suomentamat kreikkalaisen filosofin ja elämäkertakirjailijan Plutarkhosin tekstit puhuttelevat nykyihmistä ja tarjoavat oppeja mielentyyneyden saavuttamiseen. Miten elää harmonisesti, vaikka maailma ympärillä kuohuu ja ajat ovat epävarmoja? Miten hallita omat tunnekuohut ja johtaa itseään kohti viisautta? Plutarkhos pohdiskeli näitä ajankohtaisia ja ajattomia teemoja Rooman valtakunnan suuruuden kaudella.
Plutarch's Lives, Volume 1
Plutarch's Lives, written at the beginning of the second century A.D., is a brilliant social history of the ancient world by one of the greatest biographers and moralists of all time. In what is by far his most famous and influential work, Plutarch reveals the character and personality of his subjects and how they led ultimately to tragedy or victory. Richly anecdotal and full of detail, Volume I contains profiles and comparisons of Romulus and Theseus, Numa and Lycurgus, Fabius and Pericles, and many more powerful figures of ancient Greece and Rome. The present translation, originally published in 1683 in conjunction with a life of Plutarch by John Dryden, was revised in 1864 by the poet and scholar Arthur Hugh Clough, whose notes and preface are also included in this edition.

Plutarch's Lives, The Complete 48 Biographies (Deluxe Library Edition)
Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans, commonly called Parallel Lives or Plutarch's Lives, is a series of 48 biographies of famous men, arranged in tandem to illuminate their common moral virtues or failings, probably written at the beginning of the second century AD. The work includes 23 pairs of biographies, each pair consisting of one Greek and one Roman of similar destiny, such as Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, or Demosthenes and Cicero. Plutarch's Lives is a work of considerable importance, not only as a source of information about the individuals described, but also about the times in which they lived. Plutarch was not concerned with writing histories, but with exploring the influence of character, good or bad, on the lives and destinies of famous men. He wished to prove that the more remote past of Greece could show its men of action and achievement as well as the nearer, and therefore more impressive, past of Rome.
