About the Book

English summary: Plutarch's Parallel Lives offers readers precious biographical information concerning great Roman statesman, as well as important context concerning Roman morals and attitudes. In this volume, Plutarchs Life of Marc Anthony describes one of the most important men of his age, an exceptional person living in exceptional times, and reviled by many of his contemporaries. French description: Si Antoine (83-30) a su se faire aimer de Cleopatre, de ses pairs il fut deteste. Ciceron par exemple n'a pas de mot assez vil contre lui, comme l'attestent les virulentes Philippiques tout entieres consacrees a la critique du tribun de la plebe, l'accusant d'avoir conduit a la guerre civile et faisant de lui un ennemi public, avant de finir assassine par cet ennemi. Si Plutarque a des jugements plus moderes, c'est un contre-modele qu'il entend presenter, rappelant que: Nous pensons qu'il n'est peut-etre pas plus mauvais d'introduire parmi les modeles exemplaires que presentent nos Vies une ou deux paires de ces hommes qui se sont conduits de facon trop inconsideree et dont les vices ont ete rendus eclatants par la grandeur du pouvoir qu'ils ont exerce et des affaires qu'ils ont dirigees . Ambigu face a Jules Cesar, ennemi declare d'Auguste, il est a l'origine de la fameuse bataille navale d'Actium qui se solde par un echec retentissant de sa flotte. Il abandonne ses soldats pour rejoindre Cleopatre a cote de laquelle il se donnera la mort. Personnage d'exception dans une periode exceptionnelle, Marc Antoine sous la plume de Plutarque n'en est pas moins humain et touchant. Biographe et philosophe grec, Plutarque (c. 45 - 125 ap. J-C.) nous a legue une oeuvre importante, ou la philosophie et la biographie occupent une place de choix. Nous possedons de lui les OEuvres morales, un ensemble varie de traites et de dialogues consacres a des questions de philosophie morale (d'ou le titre de l'ensemble), mais aussi a des sujets litteraires, politiques, scientifiques, religieux. C'est aussi en moraliste que Plutarque s'est interesse a la vie des hommes illustres: ses Vies paralleles sont un immense recueil de biographies de grands hommes de l'histoire, presentees presque toutes par paires (un Grec etant mis chaque fois en parallele avec un Romain). D'une erudition prodigieuse, l'oeuvre de Plutarque est un tresor de connaissances, de faits et d'idees. Des l'Antiquite, elle a exerce une influence considerable, et parmi les tres nombreux esprits que Plutarque a marques on releve Shakespeare, Montaigne ou encore Rousseau. Au-dela de leur portee philosophique, ses oeuvres sont une mine de renseignements pour tous ceux qui s'interessent a la civilisation greco-romaine.
