Sinopse

Plato's "The Republic" stands as a cornerstone of Western philosophy, exploring themes of justice, politics, and the ideal state through a dialectical dialogue primarily between Socrates and various interlocutors. Employing a blend of philosophical inquiry and literary artistry, Plato navigates through complex arguments on the nature of justice, the construction of an ideal society, and the role of the philosopher-king. With its rich allegorical content, particularly the allegory of the cave, "The Republic" critiques contemporary Athenian society while presenting a visionary blueprint for achieving a harmonious and just community. Plato, a student of Socrates and a teacher of Aristotle, wrote "The Republic" during a time of political upheaval in ancient Greece, particularly after the fall of Athenian democracy. His formative experiences with Socratic dialogues profoundly shaped his philosophical approach, leading him to ponder the implications of governance, morality, and human knowledge. By establishing the Academy and advancing his philosophical treatises, Plato sought to influence future generations in envisioning a society grounded in philosophical wisdom. This essential text is highly recommended for readers seeking a deep understanding of philosophical thought and its application to political theory. "The Republic" resonates with contemporary issues of governance and ethics, making it not merely an ancient treatise but a living text that continues to inspire discussions on justice and the moral fabric of society.

    This bundle contains two different books about Russia: 
    Stalingrad - Stalingrad has changed names. It's now called Volgograd and is still one of the largest cities in Russia. But we can't ignore the fact that for a significant time in history, it was called Stalingrad, named after the tyrant and leader of the Soviet Union in the Second World War, Joseph Stalin. Let's explore the history of this city during the Second World War, and why the battles fought there were so horrendous and pivotal in history. 
    At the time of the Battle of Stalingrad In Southern Russia, Germany and its allies combated the Soviet Union for control of Stalingrad (now Volgograd). It is just one of the bloodiest engagements in the history of warfare, with an approximated 2 million general losses. It's marked by intense close-quarters battle and direct attacks on people in air campaign. The German High Command was pushed to eliminate substantial army forces from other theaters of war after their defeat at Stalingrad. 
    St. Petersburg - St Petersburg's structures lay over the skeletons of the press-ganged servant workers who worked to build it, making it the label "the city built on bones." Historians approximate that 100,000 18th-century serfs are buried underneath the city's stunning Italianate estates and large Parisian-style streets. 
    They passed away of cold, appetite, illness, or, if they were truly unfortunate, wolves. They were drawn from all around the Russian Empire at the time. They dedicated their lives for the magnificence of Imperial Russia, and the city they built, St Petersburg, stands as a testimony to the Russian state's single-mindedness. 
    Its extravagant palaces radiate European elegance and were actively built in a Western way to bring Russia closer to Europe.

    Under the shadow of gray clouds, three children venture into the woods, where they spot the corpse of an old man on a scaffold. Suddenly a wild figure emerges, with long fingernails and tangled hair. It is the Hattak fullih nipi foni, the bone picker, who comes to tear off rotting flesh with his fingernails. Only the Choctaws who adhere to the old ways will speak of him. The frightening bone picker is just one of many entities, scary and mysterious, who lurk behind every page of this spine-tingling collection of Native fiction, written by award-winning Choctaw author Devon A. Mihesuah. 
     
     
     
    As a Choctaw citizen, with deep ties to Indian Territory and Oklahoma, Mihesuah grew up hearing the stories of her ancestors. In the tradition of Native storytelling, she spins tales that move back and forth fluidly across time. The ancient beings, we discover, followed the tribe from their original homelands in Mississippi and are now ever-present influences on tribal consciousness. 
     
     
     
    While some of the horrors told here are "real life" in nature, the art of fiction that Mihesuah employs reveals surprising outcomes or alternative histories. It turns out the things that scare us the most can lead to the answers we are seeking and even ensure our very survival.
