Sinossi

In "Crito," Plato presents a profound dialogue between Socrates and his devoted friend Crito, exploring themes of justice, morality, and the individual's relationship to the state. Set in Socrates' prison cell, the text unfolds through Socratic questioning, employing a philosophical style that is dialectical and critical. The dialogue examines the ethical implications of escaping from prison, standing as a key piece within the larger context of Socratic thought and the concept of the social contract, which resonates with later political philosophy, including the works of Rousseau and Hobbes. Plato, a student of Socrates and a foundational figure in Western philosophy, penned "Crito" during a period marked by political turmoil and personal loss after the execution of his mentor. This context undoubtedly influenced his portrayal of Socratic ideals, allowing him to articulate Socrates' unwavering commitment to virtue and justice, even in the face of death. As a philosopher, Plato sought to challenge the moral complacency of Athenian society and to provoke deeper understanding of civic duties. This essential text invites readers to grapple with the tension between individual conscience and ethical obligation. "Crito" is not merely a historical artifact; it remains vividly relevant today. Those interested in ethical philosophy, political thought, and the legacy of Socratic dialogue will find rich rewards in this compelling exploration of moral integrity and civic responsibility.

    ‘Haunting.’ Jonathan Freedland‘Powerful.’ Daniel Finkelstein 
    The profoundly moving and deeply intimate story of one Jewish family’s fate in the Holocaust, following the thread from Germany to Latvia and to Britain. 
    In November 1941, Peter Bradley's grandparents, Sally and Bertha Brandes, were deported from their home in Bamberg to their deaths in Latvia. 
    The Last Train is a profound and moving homage to Peter’s lost family and to his father who rarely spoke of the traumas through which he lived. 
    It is also his attempt to understand, through the prism of his family’s story, how the Nazis came to conceive and implement the Final Solution. 
    Why did Sally and Bertha’s fellow citizens put them on the train that carried them to the killing fields? 
    Why did the democracies which so loudly condemned Hitler’s persecution of the Jews deny them sanctuary? 
    And why, when Peter's father finally reached Britain after five terrible months in a Nazi concentration camp, was he arrested as an 'enemy alien'? 
    The quest for answers led Peter to explore the origins and evolution of an ancient hatred and the struggles against it of each generation of his family, from the Reformation, through the Enlightenment and the Age of Reform, to the catastrophe of the Holocaust. 
    This is the powerful, poignant story of Peter’s journey through family papers and archives, through works of scholarship and the testimony of survivors, and from Bavaria and Buchenwald to the mass graves of the Baltic. 
    And, reflecting on what he learned, he asks: in the events of our own times, we are all perpetrators or bystanders or resisters; which of those roles do we choose for ourselves? 
    This best and top biography and autobiography of the 20th century is a testament to survival in modern Europe. It is a chilling reminder of the past and a call to action for the future. 
    For fans of Gwen Strauss (The Nine), Tova Friedman (The Daughter of Auschwitz), Wendy Holden (Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day), Limor Regev (The Boy From Block 66), and Never Again Press (Beneath the Winds of War).

    Sex workers in Singapore — and most places around the world — tend to be dehumanised, glamourised or sensationalised by the public and media alike. Rarely do mainstream narratives centre sex workers’ voices and agency. The Missing Anthology presents fifteen bold new voices from sex workers, whose writings resist society’s simplistic assumptions about sex work. In these works, authors recount their lived experiences, share their struggles and triumphs, and imagine different futures for the sex industry. 
     
    Born from an open call and writing workshops organised by Project X — the only non-profit organisation in Singapore that provides social, emotional, and health services to people in the sex industry — these pieces daringly experiment with form, genre, and perspective. In these pages, you’ll find two “chickens” discussing their dreams while blowing up a condom; pieces on the dynamics of domme-ing and servicing second-hand hearts; essays on the importance of activism and its obstacles; short fiction exploring fantasies of violent liberation; tender letters to loved ones and younger selves that reflect on their journeys and how far they’ve come. 
     
    The Missing Anthology re-centres sex workers’ voices from the margins, bringing them into the conversation about an industry often treated as illicit and taboo. By doing so, it aims to address issues of inequality, social and economic mobility, stigmatization, and safety that are fuelled by misconceptions about sex workers and their profession.
