{"product_id":"9781455366781","title":"Plutarch's Morals, Ethical Essays","description":"From the Preface: \"Plutarch, who was born at Chaeronea in Boeotia, probably about A.D. 50, and was a contemporary of Tacitus and Pliny, has written two works still extant, the well-known _Lives_, and the less-known _Moralia_. The _Lives_ have often been translated, and have always been a popular work. Great indeed was their power at the period of the French Revolution. The _Moralia_, on the other hand, consisting of various Essays on various subjects (only twenty-six of which are directly ethical, though they have given their name to the _Moralia_), are declared by Mr. Paley \"to be practically almost unknown to most persons in Britain, even to those who call themselves scholars.\" According to Wikipedia: \"Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus (c. AD 46 - 120 — commonly known in English as Plutarch — was a Roman historian (of Greek ethnicity), biographer, essayist, and Middle Platonist. Plutarch was born to a prominent family in Chaeronea, Boeotia, a town about twenty miles east of Delphi. His known works consist of the Parallel Lives and the Moralia.\"","brand":"Samizdat Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124206715120,"sku":"9781455366781","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781455366781_p0.jpg?v=1763855437","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781455366781","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
