His biographies celebrate the lives and memories of Greek and Roman thinkers (in this set, a section devoted to Confucius is added, a lovely nod to Eastern philosophy). This set in particular would make a sparkling addition to any philosophy collection. Near Fine. A nick to volume two's rear board, a couple leaves with their corners torn, overall a beautiful set.
