REPUBLIC, THE (ORNATE CLASSICS)

This elegant collector’s edition of Plato’s The Republic features gold cover embossing and gilded page edges. One of the earliest and most influential political works, The Republic is a dialogue between Socrates and his companions on justice, the ideal state, and the nature of man. Plato argues that philosopher-kings should rule to prevent the corruption of power. With the famous “Allegory of the Cave,” this edition includes a classic translation by Benjamin Jowett, presented with ivory pages, endpapers, and a gold-embossed cover—ideal for philosophy enthusiasts.
