  What if public wisdom was only a performance? 
  In Protagoras, Plato stages an epic confrontation between two forces: Socratic philosophy and Sophistic reputation. At the heart of this dramatic dialogue is a question that echoes through the centuries—can virtue be taught, or is it just a clever performance by those who claim to know? 
  With dazzling speeches, sly irony, and relentless questioning, this modern audiobook adaptation brings to life one of Plato’s most dynamic texts. 
  What you’ll discover inside: 
  •	A powerful intellectual showdown between Socrates and the famed sophist Protagoras 
  •	Insight into the tension between rhetoric, education, and genuine wisdom 
  •	Philosophical inquiry into whether virtue is teachable—or even definable 
  •	A vivid, flowing modern translation designed to entertain as well as challenge 
  Whether you're a teacher, student, or truth-seeker, Protagoras will leave you questioning the difference between knowledge and applause.

  Rembrandt and Vermeer: The Lives...

  Charles River Editors

  Of all the famous Dutch masters during the Late Renaissance and Early Baroque periods, none surpass Rembrandt van Rijn in either historical importance or artistic merit. His aesthetic has been much-imitated, a testament to the inspirational grip they exert on their viewer. Key aspects of his style are instantly recognizable to even the casual fine art enthusiast: his penchant for chiaroscuro lighting amidst dark backgrounds; the feverish intensity of his subjects, who are often shown seemingly in action rather than composed; and the recurring use of Biblical and historical subject matter, not to mention an even more prolific output of portraits commissioned (including works commissioned by the Court of the Hague).  
  	If “baroque” connotes excess, it is most appropriate that Rembrandt stands as the most famous painter of the Baroque age, as he lived well beyond his means. His life and career stand in almost complete disharmony, with a vast discrepancy existing between the care and deliberateness with which he conducted his painting, juxtaposed against the careless financial decisions he made -decisions that left him altogether impoverished at the time of his death in 1669.  
  	Johannes Vermeer has fascinated a growing number of 21st century viewers with his most intimate depictions of the nature of human existence. The formal perfection of his compositions and the precision of his painting technique, expressing his fantastic narrative ability and accurate realism, have become a quintessential characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age of painting. Nearly 400 years later, Vermeer is still celebrated for his incomparable sense of timelessness, human dignity and unprecedented talent for creating luminosity and purity of color in his scenes. 	The mystique of the paintings he produced by using the most expensive pigments (such as ultramarine) and the technique of painting with an optical device known as a camera obscura made Vermeer an art pioneer.

  What if your search to discover your roots unearthed a secret buried for over sixty years—one that would not only rewrite your family’s story forever, but shatter the heart of someone closest to you?​ 
  At just twenty-two, Sharon Beth embarked on a journey to learn about her family’s heritage. Over time, she became the family’s historian, carefully documenting generations of stories, photographs, and shared memories. 
  ​Then, seventeen years later, a DNA test revealed a shocking truth that left Sharon questioning all she thought she’d known, and she was faced with one of the toughest decisions of her life: to reveal the truth and risk upending the life of someone dear to her, or keep this secret to herself? 
  ​This raw and honest narrative follows Sharon’s journey to uncover the truth and discover a family she’s never met. Through tales of love across social and religious divides, Autumn Leaves takes readers from the 1950s tenements of New York’s Lower East Side to a glittering hotel in Connecticut and the world of burlesque, and on to present-day California—all woven together by a diamond necklace and a haunting song of lament. 
  ​For fans of Margo Reilly’s When You Shake the Family Tree and Inheritance by Dani Shapiro, Autumn Leaves is a testament to the power of faith, love, and forgiveness, which heals the hardest truths.
