EXCELLENT : This ebook contains history collected by Plato. Some of the content is known by many readers. Buy, read and enjoy.

Nothing like a lost : Critias is a short Platonic dialogue (actually, we only have the beginning portion of the dialogue; after a certain point the dialogue breaks off) where Critias, the main speaker, describes ancient Athens and the lost island of Atlantis. Nothing like a lost, ancient civilization to spark the creative imagination – scores of books have been written and films made of the lost world of Atlantis. I find this dialogue particularly enjoyable since Plato could really set his imagination free in embellishing on a topic near and dear to his heart: the ideal city. Below are several quotes with my comments.

Well done, if you have a large vocabulary : I found this translation quite readable. For those who find the introduction confusing, go to the contents and skip it. Seriously, just don't worry about it.

Interesting : very interesting. the description of Atlantis is breathtaking. To think there may have been a city of that magnitude is crazy.
