Publisher's summary
The Republic: Unveiling the Philosophical Masterpiece by Plato
Discover the depths of Plato's timeless wisdom with this new annotated edition of "The Republic." Delve into the intricate layers of this philosophical masterpiece alongside a comprehensive exploration of Plato's life. This edition features:
- His formative years.
- An exploration of Plato's relationship with Socrates and their travels.
- A glimpse into the renowned Academy at Athens.
- An examination of Plato's extensive writings.
- Reflections on Plato's enduring legacy.
In The Republic," Plato takes us on a front-row seat as a dialogue unfolds between Socrates and various interlocutors. Structured as a series of discussions, they delve into the nature of justice, the ideal society, and the role of the philosopher in governance, culminating in the depiction of a just city-state, the "Kallipolis."
In this utopian society, individuals are assigned roles based on their natural abilities and virtues, with philosopher-kings ruling as enlightened leaders. Plato delves into various topics such as education, the nature of reality, the allegory of the cave, and the philosopher's ascent to knowledge.
Through intricate arguments and allegorical storytelling, Plato presents a vision of an ideal society governed by reason, wisdom, and justice. "The Republic" continues to be studied and debated for its profound insights into politics, ethics, and human nature.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

In weeks after the September 11 attacks, 18-year-old Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghan militia and sold to US forces for bounty money. After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

Story
Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Story
The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

Story
A Room of One's Own, based on a lecture given at Girton College Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics. Woolf's blazing polemic on female creativity, the role of the writer, and the silent fate of Shakespeare's imaginary sister remains a powerful reminder of a woman's need for financial independence and intellectual freedom.
