Plutarch (Plutarchus), ca. 45120 CE, was born at Chaeronea in Boeotia in central Greece, studied philosophy at Athens, and, after coming to Rome as a teacher in philosophy, was given consular rank by the emperor Trajan and a procuratorship in Greece by Hadrian. He was married and the father of one daughter and four sons. He appears as a man of kindly character and independent thought, studious and learned. Plutarch wrote on many subjects. Most popular have always been the 46 "Parallel Lives," biographies planned to be ethical examples in pairs (in each pair, one Greek figure and one similar Roman), though the last four lives are single. All are invaluable sources of our knowledge of the lives and characters of Greek and Roman statesmen, soldiers and orators. Plutarch's many other varied extant works, about 60 in number, are known as "Moralia" or Moral Essays. They are of high literary value, besides being of great use to people interested in philosophy, ethics and religion. The Loeb Classical Library edition of the "Moralia" is in fifteen volumes, volume XIII having two parts.

Sometimes, the heart you're looking for is already deadFirst, she was called a witch. Now, they call her stupid. Eilidh wants nothing more than to spend her days working on her flower arrangements, but people call her a pariah. She's always seen them-seen more. Ghosts. But ghosts were not what put her on the town's List of Shame, a new movement that is destroying girls' reputations. Scotland is changing, and if Eilidh is not careful, she will burn like the old ways they came to purge. When a new love takes root where she least expects, and it is all but what she needs, Eilidh will have to decide exactly how far she's willing to go to save her life.Or not.The Haunting Season for Love and Witches is a story about the thin line between love, deceit, obsession, and one's perpetual cost of being true to oneself.
New Year's Eve: out with the old, in with the new... but this year, everything changed.I've lived by checklists my whole life-set goals, crush them, repeat. Except for one list I've never managed to complete: fall in love, get married, have children. Now, I'm thirty, chronically single, and the one person who ever made me believe in fate disappears at midnight-right after the champagne toasts, the fireworks, and the Happy New Year kisses that felt like destiny in disguise.Asher Hunter vanished without a trace, and it's not until the following year that he magically appears again. Our connection is instant, cosmic, like the universe pressing rewind. Even with a year between us, it's as if time never dared to move forward. One look, one laugh, one touch-and suddenly, we're tangled in bedsheets and stars. When the clock strikes midnight again, he's gone. But this time, he leaves me with a promise: same day, next year, if the stars align.The rules are simple. We keep living our lives, chasing our dreams, pretending we're not haunted by the idea of an impossible love. A friendship. A few stolen messages. A few stolen nights. Until one year, fate gives us more than either of us bargained for: a baby.What began as a once-a-year affair becomes a forever question. What do you do when the wish you whispered into a glass of champagne actually comes true?Now, with a life growing between us, we're forced to face the one thing we've both avoided-what it means to choose love not just once a year, but every day after.The Season Long Awaited is a spellbinding, sizzling, and heart-melting contemporary romance for fans of The Guardian, Dear John, You've Got Mail, and One Day.
