  'The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.'
  
  Often considered the greatest novel from the Sherlock Holmes universe, The Hound of the Baskervilles is a thrilling feat of Gothic horror, murder and, of course, mystery.
  
  On the desolate moors of Dartmoor, a chilling legend of a demonic demon has plagued the Baskerville family for years. Charles Baskerville, who recently retired to the family estate, is soon found dead in a yew alley, supposedly of a heart attack. But his dear friend, Dr James Mortimer, who notices huge paw prints near the body, suspects foul play. Enlisting the help of the unparalleled Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson, Mortimer is determined to protect the last Baskerville heir, Sir Henry, and uncover the truth. As Holmes attempts to separate rational deduction from supernatural dread, the beast strikes yet again, leading Holmes on a path of deceit, greed and staged terror. Pacey, captivating and unpredictable, The Hound of the Baskervilles is a masterclass of detective fiction.
  Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 – 1930) was a Scottish writer and physician. Although he also had an affinity to writing fantasy and science fiction, he is most famous for creating the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. His crime fiction is still widely read, adapted and studied to this day.

  What if the law wasn’t just what is written—but what ought to be?

  This modern translation captures the gravity and insight of Plato’s early political thought, providing a brief but powerful introduction to the eternal question: What is justice? 
  What you'll discover inside: 
  •	A Philosophical Inquiry into the Nature of Law – Beyond rules, toward universal truth 
  •	Socratic Method Applied to Politics – Questioning whether law equals justice 
  •	A Rare and Fragmentary Text Revived – One of Plato’s boldest but most overlooked dialogues 
  •	A Contemporary, Clear Translation – Ideal for modern listeners engaged in legal, ethical, or political thought 
  Step into one of Plato’s most daring conversations—and reconsider what gives law its true legitimacy.
