Synopsis

The Characters Of Theophrastus is a book written by J. M. Edmonds, which is a translation of the work of Theophrastus, a Greek philosopher and disciple of Aristotle. The book is a collection of 30 short character sketches, each describing a different personality type or social archetype. The sketches are written in a satirical style, with each character exhibiting exaggerated traits and flaws that are meant to be humorous and insightful. Some of the characters include the flatterer, the boaster, the miser, the coward, and the superstitious man. The book provides a unique window into the social and cultural attitudes of ancient Greece, and is still widely read and studied today as a classic of Greek literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
