  In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines Jean-Paul Sartre, the father of existentialism and author of Existentialism and Human Emotions, exploring human identity, atheism, morality, and meaning.

  What if true goodness made the world uncomfortable? 
  The Idiot is Dostoevsky’s powerful novel about innocence, cruelty, and the cost of staying pure in a world that rewards deception.  
  Prince Myshkin, recently returned from years of treatment in a Swiss clinic, walks through the aristocratic society of 19th-century Russia with compassion, honesty, and a profound sensitivity—traits that make him an outsider in every room. 
  Torn between two women, manipulated by greedy nobles, and surrounded by social intrigue, Myshkin's moral clarity slowly becomes his downfall. This deeply human story explores the tragic impossibility of living with radical goodness in a broken world. 
  What you’ll discover inside: 
  -A Timeless Portrait of Innocence – The unforgettable character of Prince Myshkin. 
  -A Complex Tapestry of Emotion – Love, betrayal, and spiritual yearning in high society. 
  -A Tragic Moral Conflict – What happens when a pure soul meets a cynical world. 
  -A Modern, Faithful Adaptation – Captures the novel’s emotional depth and clarity for today’s listeners. 
  Let the voice of Dostoevsky awaken your heart and conscience. 
  The Idiot is more than a novel—it’s a spiritual reckoning.

  True stories from a forensic psychologist in prisons and out.  
   
   
  ‘The most dangerous people I met weren’t monsters. They were broken children wearing adult faces.’ 
   
  Pamela Nathan, clinical and forensic psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, uncovers the inner worlds of society’s most dangerous and broken—whether behind bars or hidden in plain sight. 
   
  In Pain Bleeds Crime, she shares twenty-three gripping true stories from her decades working in maximum-security prisons, courts, and forensic hospitals. The crimes are shocking—murder, rape, paedophilia, assault, fetishism, bestiality, and more—but what lies beneath is often even more confronting. 
   
  Each offender, whether male, female or transgender, reveals a hidden world shaped by trauma, pain, and silence. Pamela enters these inner worlds to feel and then to have revealed the internal crime scenes, to see what made them break—mentally, emotionally, morally. These aren’t excuses. They’re revelations. 
   
  You’ll come face-to-face with people whose crimes horrified the public—people who insist they’re not violent, or that “it just happened”—and come face-to-face with the dark truth: the past never really goes away. With unflinching honesty and rare insight, Pamela shows how the past never really stays buried—and how behind every act of violence, there’s a story waiting to be told. 
   
  Brutally honest, deeply unsettling, and impossible to forget, Pain Bleeds Crime is a journey into the darkest parts of humanity. 
   
   
  ‘Mad, bad, or sad—when we listen to the story, we see the person.’ 
   
   
  ‘A chilling exploration of the trauma and pain behind the most heinous crimes.’
