Plutarch wrote a large number of essays on ethical, scientific, philosophical, ephemeral, historical and literary topics. Even when dealing with technical subjects, the essays reflect the author's particular style - with anecdotes and quotations included.
One of the greatest essayists of the Graeco-Roman world, Plutarch (c. AD 46 -120) used an encyclopedic knowledge of the Roman Empire to produce a compelling and individual voice. In this superb selection from his writings, he offers personal insights into moral subjects that include the virtue of listening, the danger of flattery and the avoidance of anger, alongside more speculative essays on themes as diverse as God''s slowness to punish man, the use of reason by supposedly ''irrational'' animals and the death of his own daughter. Brilliantly informed, these essays offer a treasure-trove of ancient wisdom, myth and philosophy, and a powerful insight into a deeply intelligent man.
