"Phaedo", also known to ancient readers as "On the Soul", is one of the best-known dialogues of Plato's middle period, along with the "Republic" and the "Symposium". The "Phaedo", which depicts the death of Socrates, is also Plato's fourth and last dialogue to detail the philosopher's final day. In the dialogue, Socrates discusses the nature of the afterlife on his last day before being executed by drinking hemlock.

I loved it. Some wheat and chaff but the pearls of great price abound. Doyle sounds a bit like a curmudgeon but that works well as Socrates.

Here are three important but very different Dialogues from the Middle Period. Symposium, the most well-known in this collection, is concerned with the theme of love. In the house of Agathon, a group of friends - each very different in personality and background - meet to consider and discuss various kinds of love. Each one, Phaedrus, Pausanias, Eryximachus, Aristophanes (the playwright) and Agathon (a prize-winning tragic poet), presents his particular view in a short discourse.

Listening to this dialogue read out loud by excellent narrators brought forth a dimension that was quite moving and excellent. Loved it.

It was the largest campaign ever attempted in the Civil War: the Peninsula campaign of 1862. General George McClellan planned to advance from Yorktown up the Virginia Peninsula and destroy the Rebel army in its own capital. But with Robert E. Lee delivering blows to the Union army, McClellan’s plan fell through at the gates of Richmond.

Felt like being a eyewitness to the actual battle
Revisado: 11-13-17
One quiet day I sat in a reclining chair with a cup of coffee and begin listening to this book and soon found myself transported to being a spectator and even some sense A participant in the Battle. The detail, first person narrative at times, flowing description, from one phase of the battle to the next enthralled me. I greatly enjoy Stephen sears is near to skill, Nelson Runger’s Voice, and a felt sense of personal connection to the American Civil War. Stephen sears is Gettysburg and the peninsula campaign, Bruce Catton read by Nelson Runger also deserve the highest appreciation for a listening experience that surpasses 99% of what’s on TV. I am in Audible junkie and love audible product. I’m sure I have over 200 books on audio because I get a form of pleasure and enjoyment in meaning from this experience that I can’t find anywhere else. I particularly enjoy listening when I’m on a long drive and all lonely highway with a little traffic.
Gratefully yours, Paul

With characteristic lucidity and style, Steiner makes Heidegger's immensely difficult body of work accessible to the general reader. In a new introduction, Steiner addresses language and philosophy and the rise of Nazism. "It would be hard to imagine a better introduction to the work of philosopher Martin Heidegger." (George Kateb, The New Republic)

Before Liz Lemon, before Weekend Update, before Sarah Palin, Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: A recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true. At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live. Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've always suspected: You're no one until someone calls you bossy.
