Socrates: A Life Worth Living (Philosophy for Young People)
by Devra LehmannA lively and accessible introduction to the quintessential philosopher, and the civilized world&’s first enemy of the state. Socrates: A Life Worth Living traces the life and ideas of one of Western Civilization&’s founding philosophers, whose influence is still felt more than two thousand years later. Socrates is famous for how he died, executed by the Athenian government for corrupting the youth of Athens, but his most important contribution was to challenge the people around him to test their ideas and beliefs in conversation with each other, in the belief that in this way we could become a society that knows the difference between truth and falsehood, and find what makes a life worthwhile. He did not claim to have definitive answers, but he knew that knowledge was the key to finding them, and he invited everyone he met to join him in his quest. The Socratic Method is the first, and still the best, method for distinguishing truth from falsehood. In Socrates: A Life Worth Living, award-winning author Devra Lehmann gives us the first biography for young readers of the thinker who has seen no equal.

As the experiments ramp up, things only get worse. Rania and her fellow prisoners decide to start a revolution; if they don&’t, they know they will die.Told by four narrators—Rania, Jess (a former teenage Deportation Force officer), Vali, and Vali&’s mother, Liliana—Solis is about the courage and sacrifice it takes to stand and fight for freedom.
