«Vidas paralelas» is Plutarch's work of comparative biographies, published by Busma in paperback (183 pages, in Spanish).
Plutarch pairs biographies of Greek and Roman figures to compare their virtues and flaws. Rather than recounting great events, he focuses on anecdotes and character traits that reveal how personality influences destiny. The author conceives his portraits like a painter and seeks parallels between the physical and conduct.
1983 edition in the Prosa y Poesía collection, no. 47, with a preliminary study by Ernesto Parra.
For readers interested in ancient history and classical biography, with a moral and anecdotal focus on its protagonists.
Plutarch was a Greek and later Roman Middle Platonist philosopher, historian, biographer, essayist, and priest at the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. He is known primarily for his Parallel Lives, a series of biographies of illustrious Greeks and Romans, and Moralia, a collection of essays and speeches. Upon becoming a Roman citizen, he was possibly named Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus.
