  What if the most admired teacher in philosophy couldn’t show you how to live well? 
  In Clitophon, Plato gives voice to a disillusioned disciple. Clitophon, once captivated by Socrates’ speeches, now questions their value—arguing that Socrates inspires but never instructs. In this brief yet bold exchange, the roles of teacher and student are reversed. 
  This modern translation captures the tension, ambiguity, and unresolved nature of Plato’s shortest dialogue—offering a powerful look at the limits of inspiration without action. 
  What you'll discover inside: 
  •	A Direct Challenge to Socratic Philosophy – Clitophon accuses Socrates of failing to guide others to virtue 
  •	A Dialogue Unlike Any Other – Brief, mysterious, and unresolved—leaving interpretation open 
  •	The Limits of Inspiration – Explore the gap between admiration and transformation 
  •	A Clear, Thoughtful Translation – Perfect for anyone studying the role of philosophy in real-life virtue 
  Experience Clitophon, Plato’s most cryptic confrontation, and decide for yourself—can words alone lead to wisdom?

  Every American is taught a pristine narrative of the life and legacy of George Washington and can easily recite the highlights of the “Father of Our Country”. The remarkable Virginian led an under-resourced rag-tag army to ultimate victory in the American Revolution before becoming the nation’s first president, setting it on its path toward superpower status. He may not have actually chopped down a cherry tree or tossed a silver dollar across the Potomac, but his contemporaries considered his character above reproach. When Washington voluntary resigned as commander of the armies, he stunned the world. Everyone in the colonies and the world realized that Washington, at the head of the last army standing in the colonies, could have made himself king of the new United States on the spot, and it would have been a move supported by his rank and file soldiers.  
  Politically, John Adams shared Washington’s preference for Britain as well as his preference of non-interference. However, while he was certainly the more significant man in his work and his governing, he could never seem to move out of Washington’s shadow. Even worse, his presidency was seen as threatening to the very essence of American liberty with the Alien and Sedition Acts, and his loss to Jefferson in 1800 was a repudiation of the Federalists that left Jeffersonians in power until John Quincy Adams was elected in 1824. His presidency is still viewed relatively unfavorably. 
  	The Founding Fathers have been revered by Americans for over 200 years, celebrated for creating a new nation founded upon the loftiest ideals of democracy and meritocracy. But if the American Dream has come to represent the ability to climb the social ladder with skill and hard work, no Founding Father represented the new America more than Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton is also well remembered for his authorship, along with John Jay and James Madison, of the Federalist Papers.

  The Zelensky Effect

  With Russian shells raining on Kyiv and tanks closing in, American forces prepared to evacuate Ukraine's leader. Just three years earlier, his apparent main qualification had been playing a president on TV. But Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly retorted, 'I need ammunition, not a ride.' Ukrainian forces won the battle for Kyiv, ensuring their country's independence even as a longer war began for the southeast. 
   
   
   
  You cannot understand the historic events of 2022 without understanding Zelensky. But the Zelensky effect is less about the man himself than about the civic nation he embodies: what makes Zelensky most extraordinary in war is his very ordinariness as a Ukrainian. 
   
   
   
  The Zelensky Effect explains this paradox, exploring Ukraine's national history to show how its now-iconic president reflects the hopes and frustrations of the country's first 'independence generation'. Interweaving social and political background with compelling episodes from Zelensky's life and career, this is the story of Ukraine told through the journey of one man who has come to symbolize his country.

  One of the world's most infamous macabre stories reimagined as queer erotica. 
  If you’ve ever wondered what the sinister world of Edgar Allan Poe would look like filled with gay men, then this story is for you! 
  "Erotically wicked! Spellbinding! A unique trans-inclusive retelling of ‘The Fall of the House of Usher.’” 
  “A wildly inventive labyrinth of dark extravagance with gay otter men and romance at the story's heart." 
  At the edge of a sleepy seaside town stands a mansion nearly as tall as the rumors about its mysterious owner. The house beckons to an out of work sex worker named Alexander who soon finds himself in a whirlwind of strange decadence. 
  But this sudden luxury comes at a price. Rules must be followed. Secrets kept. There is an order to the seemingly enchanted building that must be appeased. 
  Hustler turned live-in pet, Alexander must navigate his way through bizarre rituals and BDSM training while he battles his frozen heart. Has he fallen in love with the stoic but forceful man who now rules over him or will a handsome friend from Alexander’s past be the key to unlocking the secrets of Usher’s bizarre world? 
  Modern kink collides with old magic in this haunting tale of jockstraps, bondage, and sexual hierarchy.
