A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. Selections from "Protagoras", "Republic", "Phaedrus" and "Gorgias". ... Plato is outstanding among philosophers, more or less inventing philosophy as we know it in the West. In the "Republic" he begins with the question "What is justice?", but this question soon broadens into an investigation of what is real and how we can know it, so defining the three main areas of philosophy – ethics, metaphysics and epistemology - for the next 2000 years and more.

Антиутопичен роман ... Книгата "Платото" е една от най-съкровените творби на Владимир Свинтила. Писана през 60-те години на ХХ век, тя има удивителна съдба. Макар в онова десетилетие да настъпва кратко "размразяване" в Източна Европа (1958-1968), всичко се оказва поредната лъжа. Под егидата на хрушчовизма реформаторите-комунисти предприемат една - уж непримирима - критика и самокритика на сталинизма (това се отнася и за т. нар. "априлско поколение" у нас!). Ала в действителност те само подновяват старата марксическа утопия и възкресяват илюзорните блянове на ленинизма за тотална - освен ... |

This selection of a hundred of O. Henry's succinct tales displays the range, humour and humanity of a perennially popular short-story writer.
