The Morals (Moralia), Book 2 by Lucius Mestrius PLUTARCHUS (c. 46 - c. 120) Genre(s): Classics (Greek & Latin Antiquity), *Non-fiction, Self-Help Read by: Alan Brown, Elena Pol, KHand, Lynne T, Ann Boulais, Arnie Horton, Anna Simon, MorganScorpion, Cameron Davis, Josh Kirsh, Jairus Amar, Larry Wilson, Simon Brouwer, Andrea Curry, Luke Sartor in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 17 - Roman Questions, part 2 00:33:30 - 18 - Roman Questions, part 3 01:05:49 - 19 - Roman Questions, part 4 01:40:18 - 20 - Greek Questions, part 1 02:14:07 - 21 - Greek Questions, part 2 02:46:22 - 22 - Of the Love of Wealth 03:11:59 - 23 - How a Man May Inoffensively Praise Himself Without Being Liable to Envy 03:46:05 - 24 - Concerning the Procreation of the Soul As Discoursed In Timaeus, part 1 04:12:41 - 25 - Concerning the Procreation of the Soul As Discoursed In Timaeus, part 2 04:45:54 - 26 - Concerning the Procreation of the Soul As Discoursed In Timaeus, part 3 05:26:38 - 27 - That a Philosopher Ought Chiefly to Converse With Great Men 05:49:10 - 28 - A Discourse Concerning Socrates's Daemon, part 1 06:19:52 - 29 - A Discourse Concerning Socrates's Daemon, part 2 06:52:44 - 30 - A Discourse Concerning Socrates's Daemon, part 3 The Moralia (loosely translatable as 'Matters relating to customs') of the 1st-century Greek scholar Plutarch of Chaeronea is an eclectic collection of 78 essays and transcribed speeches. They give an insight into Roman and Greek life, but often are also fascinating timeless observations in their own right. Many generations of Europeans have read or imitated them, including Montaigne and the Renaissance Humanists and Enlightenment philosophers. The Moralia include 'On the Fortune or the Virtue of Alexander the Great' — an important adjunct to his Life of the great general — 'On the Worship of Isis and Osiris' (a crucial source of information on Egyptian religious rites), and 'On the Malice of Herodotus' (which may, like the orations on Alexander's accomplishments, have been a rhetorical exercise), in which Plutarch criticizes what he sees as systematic bias in the Father of History's work; along with more philosophical treatises, such as 'On the Decline of the Oracles', 'On the Delays of the Divine Vengeance', 'On Peace of Mind' and lighter fare, such as 'Odysseus and Gryllus', a humorous dialog between Homer's Odysseus and one of Circe's enchanted pigs. The Moralia were composed first, while writing the Lives occupied much of the last two decades of Plutarch's own life. Some editions of the Moralia include several works now known to be pseudepigrapha: among these are the 'Lives of the Ten Orators' (biographies of the Ten Orators of ancient Athens, based on Caecilius of Calacte), 'The Doctrines of the Philosophers', and 'On Music'. One 'pseudo-Plutarch' is held responsible for all of these works, though their authorship is of course unknown. Though the thoughts and opinions recorded are not Plutarch's and come from a slightly later era, they are all classical in origin and have value to the historian. The book is also famously the first reference to the problem of the chicken and the egg.

His philosophical writings earned him lasting fame and renown; his historical writing earned his bread and butter. His 'The History of England from the Invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution of 1688', published between 1754 and 1764, was immensely popular and Hume wrote that 'the copy-money given me by the booksellers much exceeded any thing formerly known in England; I was become not only independent, but opulent.' The six volume work has had numerous editions and is still in print today. David Hume and Thomas Babington Macaulay have frequently been compared as the premier English historians but we don't have to choose because Macaulay begins where Hume leaves off.This is Volume 1F which covers the reign of Charles II and James II.

O. Henry Memorial Award Prize Stories of 1921 by VARIOUS ( - ) Genre(s): Short Stories Read by: Mike Pelton, Jacquerie, David Hinson, meridiculous, Fred Sandal, Jothi Tharavant, Wendy Almeida, Garth Burton, Graham McMillan, Michele Fry in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 09 - Fifty-two Weeks for Florette 00:57:46 - 10 - Wild Earth, part 1 01:36:23 - 11 - Wild Earth, part 2 02:21:53 - 12 - The Tribute 02:34:47 - 13 - The Get-away 02:52:28 - 14 - 'Aurore' 03:28:49 - 15 - Mr. Downey Sits Down 04:05:17 - 16 - The Marriage in Kairwan 04:48:24 - 17 - Grit In 1918 the Society of Arts and Sciences established the O. Henry Memorial Awards to reward the very best short stories published during the previous year with cash prizes. 1921 was a particularly productive year with sterling and brilliantly varied examples of the art of short story writing as are included here. The selection committee struggled to agree on these, but finally, here they are for us to enjoy and record. The length varies but most are sufficiently long for a reader to get their teeth into and enjoy. The stories are listed in a rough order of how they were judged, but all are excellent. Note that one story, 'Martin Gerrity Gets Even' actually had two authors, Courtney Ryley Cooper, and Leo F. Creagan but only one is able to be credited - Summary by Phil Chenevert More information: http://librivox.org/o-henry-memorial-award-prize-stories-of-1921-by-various/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)
