  • The Republic

    Plato

    Hardcover (Blurb, May 1, 2020)
    Translated by Benjamin Jowett. The complete and unabridged master translation, acknowledged as the most superior and accurate version of the original. The Republic is one of Plato's most famous Socratic Dialogues, written around 380 BC. It deals with the definition of justice and the best ordering and character of government. Presented in the form of a discussion between Socrates and other leading personalities, the book concludes that the aristocratic state is the best form of government. It should be ruled by a philosopher king with a "soul of gold," supported by a ruling caste, made up of soldiers (who have "souls of silver"), whose job in the state is to force on the majority the order established by the rulers. The majority of the people (who have "souls of "bronze") are, in contrast to the first two classes, allowed to own property and produce goods for themselves. As the most intellectually and historically influential works of philosophy and political theory, "The Republic" represents one of the pinnacles of Classical Greek intellectual endeavor. Other topics discussed include the theory of forms, the immortality of the soul, and the roles of the philosopher and of poetry in society. About the author: One of the most important founding figures of Western philosophy, Plato (circa 428-348 BC) was a mathematician, a student of Socrates, writer of philosophical dialogues, and founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. His Dialogues have been used to teach a range of subjects, including philosophy, logic, ethics, rhetoric, religion, and mathematics. About the translator: Benjamin Jowett (1817-1893) was one of Cambridge University's most renowned and influential tutors and held the highly acclaimed Regius Professorship of Greek at that institution, as well as Master of Balliol College, Oxford.

    Jessica Miller

    (Amulet Books, April 20, 2021)
    A young witch must save her sister from evil birds in this masterful middle-grade fantasy In the land of Tsaretsvo, civil war has divided the human tsardom from the Republic of Birds. Magic is outlawed, and young witches, or yagas, are sent to a mysterious boarding school, from which no one has returned. Olga and her family live a life of dull privilege in the capital until her father displeases the tyrannical tsarina. The family is sent off into exile at the Imperial Center for Avian Observation, an isolated shack near the Republic of Birds. Unlike the rest of her family, Olga doesn’t particularly mind their strange new life. She never fit into aristocratic society as well as her perfect younger sister, Mira. But what does worry Olga is her blossoming magical abilities. If anyone found out, they’d send her away. But then Mira is kidnapped by the birds, and Olga has no choice but to enter the forbidden Republic, a dangerous world full of yagas, talking birds, and living dreams. To navigate the Republic and save her sister, she’ll need her wits, her cunning—and even her magic.
