This book was one of my sources for an essay for uni. I found it to be pretty enjoyable to read and a good introduction to Plutarch as a writer and philosopher. Understandably, it focuses on Plutarch‘s “Lives” and a few other texts he‘s most famous for, but I think it still gives a good overall view. Would recommend if you want to learn about Plutarch (but also be sure to read Plutarch‘s own writings).
