Sinossi

In "The Life and Legacy of Socrates," Xenophon presents a compelling narrative that intertwines historical biography with philosophical discourse, encapsulating the essence of Socratic thought and its enduring impact on Western philosophy. Through a series of dialogues and reflections, Xenophon not only details the life of Socrates but also explores his method of questioning and philosophical inquiry, often contrasting it with the societal norms of his time. The text is notable for its accessible style, rich anecdotes, and the author's firsthand experiences, making it a vital source for understanding Socrates' character and the philosophical landscape of ancient Athens. Xenophon, a contemporary and student of Socrates, offers a unique perspective shaped by his military background, experiences in Athenian politics, and personal dialogues with Socrates. His writings reveal not only his admiration for Socratic ideals but also his desire to preserve the teachings and legacy of a man who profoundly influenced the intellectual heritage of the West. Xenophon's portrayal is marked by a focus on moral character and practical wisdom, reflecting his own values and philosophical inclinations. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the foundations of Western philosophy, as well as those seeking a nuanced portrait of one of history's most influential figures. Xenophon's work acts as both a tribute and a critical examination of Socratic thought, making it an essential read for anyone looking to engage with the philosophical inquiries that continue to resonate today.

    "Mohammed El-Kurd has written a new Discourse on Colonialism for the twenty-first century." —Robin D. G. Kelley 
     
     
     
    Perfect Victims is an urgent affirmation of the Palestinian condition of resistance and refusal—an ode to the steadfastness of a nation. 
     
     
     
    Palestine is a microcosm of the world: on fire, stubborn, fragmented, dignified. While a settler colonial state continues to inflict devastating violence, fundamental truths are deliberately obscured—the perpetrators are coddled while the victims are blamed and placed on trial. 
     
     
     
    Why must Palestinians prove their humanity? And what are the implications of such an infuriatingly impossible task? With fearless prose and lyrical precision, Mohammed El-Kurd refuses a life spent in cross-examination. Rather than asking the oppressed to perform a perfect victimhood, El-Kurd asks friends and foes alike to look Palestinians in the eye, forgoing both deference and condemnation. 
     
     
     
    How we see Palestine reveals how we see each other; how we see everything else. Masterfully combining candid testimony, history, and reportage, Perfect Victims presents a powerfully simple demand: dignity for the Palestinian.

    I had heard tales of women with secret knowledge and powers, but I never imagined that there would be one standing right in front of me. 
    “You’re a Völva?” the word rolled off my tongue strangely... 
    I only knew faintly what a Völva was. They were said to be strange women with strange powers. Not only could they protect and ward against ill omens, but they could also travel the realms and reach into places untapped by most humans. As such, they were often spoken of in whispers of both reverence and mystery. 
    “Yes, I am. And an old one at that,” she said, getting up from her chair. 
    It seemed so casual as if she was just talking about a mindless chore that she was doing. Like it was nothing special that she had just performed some form of magic right in front of me. 
    For two years, I learned everything I could on runes, protections, herbs, medicines, and anything else that Dagmar deemed necessary. In the few moments I had that were not dedicated to lessons from Dagmar, I would seek out Ivar for his quiet presence. There was just something about being near him that set my mind at ease. 
    All that consumed my thoughts was avengement and how close Ulrik was. Soon he would taste the bitter sting of defeat. 
    In the realms of Norse Mythology, a girl sets out to avenge her village only to meet a powerful teacher on her journey into the abyss of forbidden knowledge.
