Here is one of the giants of the ancient world, Plato. His dialogues of Socrates and the group around him have fascinated classical scholars and general readers alike for many many years.
I can say nothing more or better than that you need to read him. There. Please do.

Much use of the world "morality" when the preferable translation would be the word "justice".
Not the best translation, by a long way. Unsatisfactory.

Super duper. Goodstuff. Just spilt some bong water all over it. It has stood up against the moisture pretty well, the pages dried out nicely. I left it on a radiator and one thing I would fault it on here is the smell. The stench of the dirty bong water really clung from the preface right through to page 10. And the is quite a preface in this book let me tell you. Hopefully over time this will fade, I have sprayed some deodorant for now, I plan to use quotes from this book for an essay and I can't be seen carrying around a terrible smelling book. A lesson learned here is to invest in a hardback copy.. much more water resilient. Everyone likes a dry book.
