  What if knowledge was just a feeling—and not a fact? 
  Plato’s Theaetetus is a dynamic and challenging exploration of knowledge, perception, and belief. In this dialogue, Socrates meets Theaetetus, a bright youth, to examine what it really means to "know" something. Through probing questions and clever counterarguments, Socrates reveals the limits of perception, the pitfalls of assumption, and the elusive nature of certainty. 
  What you'll discover inside: 
  •	A Powerful Dialogue on Knowledge – Socratic reasoning that explores the foundations of thought 
  •	The Roots of Western Epistemology – Ideas that continue to influence how we understand truth 
  •	A Modern, Accessible Translation – Making classical wisdom engaging for today’s listeners 
  •	A Journey of Intellectual Exploration – An encounter with doubt that leads to deeper understanding 
  Perfect for listeners seeking intellectual stimulation and philosophical reflection, Theaetetus invites you to re-examine the way you see the world. Join Socrates on a quest to uncover the essence of knowledge.

  The Letters of Mark Twain

  Mark Twain

  These letters were arranged in two volumes by Albert Bigelow Paine, Samuel L. Clemens's literary executor, as a supplement to Mark Twain, A Biography, which Paine wrote. They are, for the most part, every letter written by Clemens known to exist at the time of their publication in 1917. They begin with a fragment of a letter from teenaged Sam Clemens to his sister, Pamela, and conclude with a letter to his attorney two weeks before his death. 
   
  These letters give us some degree of insight into the evolution of Twain's style of speech and prose over the period of his lifetime; they are a small window into the psyche that created the various characters of his stories. 
   
  But they also reveal the tragedies of his life: the lack of success in his business ventures, and the passing of his family. And as I read each one in this collection, I can almost detect the faint odor of one of his “devilish” cigars wafting across the room. 
   
  Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. He was praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced", and William Faulkner called him "the father of American literature".

  While visiting his ailing father in Sydney, the author discovers an old suitcase thrown out on the street. Curiosity gets the better of him and he opens it. Inside are hundreds of photographs, newspaper clippings and letters, all addressed to Mr Blank. And so the process of discovery begins: Who is Mr Blank? A maverick entrepreneur with the Midas touch, a convicted criminal with impeccable tastes, a publican and theatre impresario, a gap-toothed lover of beautiful women from all over the world. Mr Blank flew above the law and mainly below the radar of twentieth century Australia. And not everyone wants his past, or their part in it, to be revealed.
