Title: Theophrastus' Characters Author: James Romm Narrator: Billy Crudup Format: mp3 Length: 1 hr and 20 mins Release date: 09-12-22 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 4 ratings Genres: Ancient Publisher's Summary: Theophrastus' Characters is a joyous festival of fault-finding: a collection of thirty closely observed personality portraits, defining the full spectrum of human flaws, failings, and follies. With piquant details of speech and behavior taken straight off the streets of ancient Athens, Theophrastus gives us sketches of the mean, vile, and annoying that are comically distorted yet vividly real. Enlivened by Pamela Mensch's fresh translation, Theophrastus' Characters transports us to a world populated by figures of flesh and blood, not bronze and marble.
