The biographer's real superpower is the letters. The version of a person in private correspondence is richer than the public figure. We are all two people and the second one only writes to friends.

If a classic bored you, maybe you read the wrong translator. The same ancient poem is stiff and dead in one version and electric in another. Try a different hand before you write it off.
