Condition: Used-Good

Synopsis:

Picture this: a classy dinner party in ancient Athens, filled with some of the city’s brightest minds. The wine’s flowing, the conversation’s buzzing—and the topic? Love. One by one, the guests give heartfelt, funny, and deeply thoughtful speeches, each adding a layer to a rich, complex view of what love really means. At the heart of it all is Socrates, whose big moment takes things to a whole new level—beyond physical attraction, right into the realm of pure ideals. Then comes Alcibiades with his colorful, cheeky portrait of Socrates, wrapping things up with flair. In The Symposium, Plato blends deep philosophy with artistic flair, creating something that’s as entertaining as it is thought-provoking.
