  "Charmides" is a dialogue written by Plato that delves into the nature of wisdom and self-knowledge. The conversation takes place between Socrates and Charmides, a young man renowned for his beauty and noble heritage. Socrates challenges Charmides' claim to possess self-control or temperance, arguing that true self-knowledge requires an examination of one's own nature. This leads to a discussion on the nature of wisdom and how it is cultivated through inquiry and self-examination, rather than being possessed as a physical object. Read in English, unabridged.

  A behind-the-scenes chronicle of a beloved American media empire and the men behind it, including Martin Goodman, Stan Lee, and Jack Kirby.  
   
  A New York Times–Bestseller 
   
  “A definitive portrait of comics in American culture.” —The Wall Street Journal 
   
  In the early 1960s, a struggling company called Marvel Comics presented a cast of brightly costumed characters distinguished by smart banter and compellingly human flaws: Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, the X-Men. Over the course of a half a century, Marvel’s epic universe would become the most elaborate fiction narrative in history and serve as a modern American mythology for millions of readers. 
   
  For the first time, Marvel Comics reveals the outsized personalities behind the scenes, including Martin Goodman, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and generations of editors, artists, and writers who struggled with commercial mandates, a fickle audience, and—over matters of credit and control—one another. Marvel Comics is a story of fertile imaginations, lifelong friendships, action-packed fistfights, and third-act betrayals—a narrative of one of the most extraordinary, beloved, and beleaguered pop-culture entities in America’s history. 
   
  “Sean Howe’s history of Marvel makes a compulsively readable, riotous and heartbreaking version of my favorite story, that of how a bunch of weirdoes changed the world . . . That it’s all true is just frosting on the cake.” —Jonathan Lethem

  Robert Rogers, commander of Rogers' Rangers during the French and Indian War, was the war's best-known colonial military hero and, in the ensuing peace, one of the best-known Americans of any description, rivaling Benjamin Franklin in popularity. Rogers is known today for his role in developing the mystique of the modern Ranger, but what explains his meteoric rise and his long, depressing fall? 
   
   
   
  Robert Rogers, Ranger: The Rise and Fall of an American Icon by Martin Klotz is a fresh look at the life of this famous, yet highly flawed man. Rogers undeniably had great personal strengths. At the same time Rogers had enormous weaknesses that undermined his ability to lead effectively. Rogers never found a comfortable place in America. Instead, his aristocratic patrons in London, who knew him mostly from his own self-description, gave him his most valuable opportunities, including commanding an important military and trading center on the colonial frontier and establishing the Queen's Rangers to fight alongside Crown forces during the Revolution. But when the British cause failed in America, Rogers became an anathema on both sides of the Atlantic. A fascinating inquiry into an eighteenth-century life, Robert Rogers, Ranger presents this American legend as he lived, crossing the line between fame and misfortune.
