Marcus Tullius Cicero

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "For Aulus Caecina," penned in 69 BC, Marcus Tullius Cicero showcases his exceptional rhetorical prowess while addressing a legal case of considerable public interest. This work is a masterclass in the art of persuasion, blending sharp logic with emotive appeal, as Cicero defends his client, Aulus Caecina, against charges of illegal possession of a disputed inheritance. The literary style is characterized by Cicero's elegant and fluid Latin prose, replete with rhetorical devices that illuminate the intricacies of his arguments, placing this text within the broader context of Roman oratory and legal discourse. Notably, Cicero's ability to intertwine personal anecdotes with legal principles exemplifies the humanistic approach that shaped the literary and philosophical currents of his time. Marcus Tullius Cicero, born in 106 BC, emerged as one of the foremost figures in Roman politics and philosophy. His extensive experience as a lawyer, politician, and statesman provided him with invaluable insights into the workings of the Roman legal system and the social dynamics of his era. Cicero's deep commitment to justice and the Republic influenced his writings profoundly, fostering a legacy that would resonate through the ages and inspire countless thinkers and orators. "For Aulus Caecina" is not merely a legal defense; it is a compelling exploration of the intersection of law and ethics, making it essential reading for students of rhetoric, law, and Roman history. Cicero's ability to evoke empathy while arguing with intellectual rigor ensures that this work endures as a significant contribution to the canon of classical literature. Engaging with Cicero's text invites readers to reflect on the enduring power of words and the importance of justice in society.

Don't Tempt Fate

Lisa Oliver

Don't Tempt Fate
Book 11 of the Cloverleah Pack series.
Pack enforcer, Marius Reef has a lot on his mind. Life in Cloverleah has been quiet for months; giving him too much time to think. He still suffers nightmares from his father's abuse decades ago and now his brothers are mated, he is struggling to find and keep his place in the pack. Determined to be useful, his waking hours are spent patrolling the pack's territory but at night his dreams are haunted by a hunky blond, so perfect he couldn't exist in real life.
As the Battle Lord for his people, Cathair is used to being sent from the elven realm to dispel injustices found on many realms including earth. Guided by the Seers, he's never questioned his assignments before. But when his father, the High Elder insists he must take a message to a tiny pack in the middle of nowhere, and actually stay with them, he puts up a token protest. His place was on the elven realm, wasn't it?
Prophecies and kidnappings, the evil that stalks Cloverleah is getting closer and all will be affected. Plagued with troubles and misunderstandings on both realms, Marius and Cathair must forge a bond or the whole pack could be lost. But when trouble comes from one of their own, the two men reach a crossroads. Will they choose the right path or will the fate of the Cloverleah pack be doomed?
This is an M/M story that includes some violence, references to past abuse and a scene of attempted rape (not between MCs). Like all of my books, it has an HEA, no cheating and no cliffhanger. However, the epilogue sets the scene for the next book in the series.
This book is part of a series and while this story is based on one couple and is complete in itself; to appreciate the over-arching story line and the stories behind the secondary characters, reading the previous books in order is advised.
