ISBN: 9780394607054.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlutarch of Chaeronea is one of the great storytellers of antiquity, a writer whose ability to create unforgettable scenes matches the grandeur of his subject matter. The heroes of his Lives were the great men of antiquity, often greatly flawed, but with tragic depth and epic stature. Thomas Norths translation, one of the most splendid works of sixteenth-century English prose, presents a vigorous and passionate version of the Lives whose qualities so attracted Shakespeare that he used North as his major source for Julius Caesar, Coriolanus and Antony \u0026amp; Cleopatra. This collection includes all the Lives which Shakespeare used and a selection of others which aim to show the variety and range of Plutarchs writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Random House Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44957062791221,"sku":"ByrdShop_0394607058","price":316.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780394607054_04681412-b5e3-4fbe-899d-9bbef71703de.jpg?v=1781366216","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/plutarchs-lives-complete-and-unabridged-in-one-volume-a-modern-library-giant-9780394607054","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
