The Makers of Rome(I***N=9780140441581) 电子版 免费 pdf 下载 azw3 fb2 caj mobi

　　These nine biographies illuminate the careers, personalities

and military campaigns of some of Rome's greatest statesmen, whose

lives span the earliest days of the Republic to the establishment

of the Empire. Selected from Plutarch's "Roman Lives", they include

prominent figures who achieved fame for their pivotal roles in

Roman history, such as soldierly Marcellus, eloquent Cato and

cautious Fabius. Here too are vivid portraits of ambitious,

***-tempered Coriolanus; objective, principled Brutus and

open-hearted Mark Anthony, who would later be brought to life by

Shakespeare. In recounting the lives of these great leaders,

Plutarch also explores the problems of statecraft and power and

illustrates the Roman people's genius for political compromise,

which led to their mastery of the ancient world.
