Parallel Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans Vol. 2 by Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus (c. 46 - c. 120) LibriVox Parallel Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans is a series of biographies of famous men, arranged in tandem to illuminate their common moral virtues or failings. The surviving lives contain twenty-three pairs of biographies, each pair consisting of one Greek and one Roman, as well as four unpaired, single lives.Plutarch was not concerned with writing histories, as such, but in exploring the influence of character, good or bad, on the lives and destinies of famous men. The first pair of lives the Epaminondas-Scipio Africanus no longer exists, and many of the remaining lives are truncated, contain obvious lacunae and/or have been tampered with by later writers.His Life of Alexander is one of the five surviving secondary or tertiary sources about Alexander the Great and it includes anecdotes and descriptions of incidents that appear in no other source.

Song of the Cardinal, The by Gene Stratton-Porter (1863 - 1924) LibriVox The Song of the Cardinal is about a big male Cardinal who lives in a tree near a farmer and his wife.
