Zehn Jahre nach Sokrates' Tod schrieb Platon dessen Verteidigungsrede nieder und etablierte damit einen Denker, wie ihn die Welt noch nicht kannte. Einen Dialektiker, der sich unwissend und einfältig stellte, um Wissen und Moral seiner Mitmenschen zu prüfen, und der sich in seiner Unbedingtheit weder gängigen Meinungen noch dem Druck der Masse beugte, mehr noch: der auch den eigenen Neigungen widerstand und sich ganz und gar der Wahrheit verpflichtete...

The game of chess has long be used a microcosm for everything from international politics to war. In The Morals of Chess, an essay originally published in The Columbian Magazine in 1786, Benjamin Franklin, American founding father, polymath, and thinker, tackles this intricate game and likens it to life itself.

La Tierra no es perfectamente redonda, pero la circunferencia creada por los hombres sí lo es. Lo malo es que cuando intentaban medir esa circunferencia inventada con su diámetro, salía un número irracional, un número desconcertante, el número pi.

The Hawaiian word for ghost is Uhane. In this collection of short stories described as Harry Bosch meets Mary Poppins by one reviewer, there are tons of them.

Unsolved murder is a fire that can never be extinguished, and Danny is determined to put out every single one. In these four stories, the lines between life and death and everything in between are blurred.
