Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Moralia, III (Hardcover)
Plutarch; Translated by Frank Cole Babbitt

Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Plutarch (Plutarchus), ca. 45-120 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.

Call yourself a man? You do? Do you even know what a real man is?
Are you a six foot one Adonis who wears all the latest fashions,
moisturises regularly, visits spas for pleasure and never does
anything wrong? Or do you drink twenty pints every Friday night,
guzzle a kebab on the way home and then fart yourself to sleep?
It's time to stop being the man everyone expects you to be and be
the one you want to be. And while you're at it, why not discover
the practical skills a real man should have: from hot-wiring a car
to hiding a dead body, how to disappear without trace in less than
24 hours, to unarmed combat. Add in tips on love, sex, money and
fatherhood and you have a book tells you everything you need to
know about being a man. Fast-paced and funny this is the ultimate
bible for the modern man.
