Summary

Plato's The Republic is more than an ancient text—it is a timeless journey into the heart of justice, truth, and the human soul. Across its pages, Socrates challenges friends, rivals, and readers alike with questions that still ignite debate today: Why be just when injustice seems profitable? Who should rule, and how can society avoid corruption? Are we living in truth, or chained to shadows of illusion? From the provocative Ring of Gyges to the visionary Allegory of the Cave, Plato leads us from everyday moral puzzles to a dazzling cosmic vision where justice becomes harmony within both society and the soul. Whether you see it as a utopia, a warning, or a philosophical adventure, The Republic speaks with startling relevance to our fractured world, daring us to rethink leadership, freedom, education, and the meaning of a good life. This is not just philosophy—it is a dramatic invitation to step out of the cave, seek wisdom, and discover justice as the foundation of true happiness.

    We broke our new series on learning Indonesian down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Indonesian.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Indonesian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Indonesian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Indonesian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Indonesian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Indonesian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

    Few military organisations have had a greater importance than the Wagner Group: at a cursory glance no more than a disreputable private mercenary group dedicated to committing war crimes yet also, astonishingly, the challengers of the Kremlin on 23-24 June, 2023-unheard of in over two decades of Vladimir Putin's rule. From its inception in 2014 this nebulous organisation operating from Russia was intentionally cloaked in questions. How was it able to operate alongside Russia's top government officials? How could it deploy the logistical systems of the Russian army up to and including ordering air attacks with fighter planes of the Russian Federation, despite the deep antipathy of Russia's powerful defence minister Sergei Shoigu? Why did the Kremlin provide such an ample helping hand to its leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, for over a decade? In this compelling book, former Financial Times journalist Owen Wilson investigates the Wagner Group and their ties to Vladimir Putin. It skilfully sets out its history and the dramatic death of Yevgeny Prigozhin to cast a searching light on the person who ultimately stands behind the group.

    "Fromm crossed the boundaries of traditional disciplines to expound his view on the alienation of man in an increasingly technological world." —Newsweek 
     
     
     
    Erich Fromm's basic idea was to look at the individual as a social being, and to look at society as an ensemble of many individuals who have not only mutual ideas and convictions based on a common practice of life, but also a shared psychic structure. With his concept of "social character," Fromm created a new interdisciplinary thinking presented in this compendium. 
     
     
     
    The Erich Fromm Reader exhibits the true genius of an original thinker in seeing the connections between overlapping knowledge from many different fields. Here, interdisciplinarity is not only a lip service but the impact of Erich Fromm's unique social psychological notion.

    An MDLG and ABDL themed love story for the age play fetishist. 
    Please note: This book contains content only appropriate for individuals interested in the MDLG subgroup of BDSM. It includes kink related themes, lactation, sex with a strap on, psychological power-play both sexual and non-sexual, sub-training in deep throating and re-conditioning using domination techniques with little space as a reward, and punishment by flogging and forced orgasms utilizing a sex dungeon. Mild degradation and a fast-moving relationship that explores when a limit is pushed too far. 
    The story is a work of fiction, and although based on multiple personal experiences, Tina Moore does not assume to speak for the entire community. She also believes that the kink is as broad and diverse as the consenting adults who engage in it, and thus there is not a ‘correct’ way to be a consenting adult involved in age play and/or regression. 
    Tina Moore would like to thank all her loyal, supportive, and loving fans. She wishes you every happiness and success and hopes that you stay safe, calm, and healthy. 
    Anna had a perfect life. The perfect job and the perfect apartment, but something was missing. As the young, stunning, blonde Meg catches Anna’s eye, she knows exactly who she wants to be her perfect baby girl. As their relationship takes form, will Meg be the girl Anna has always dreamed of? 
    If you are looking for a loving and romantic MDLG story…
