Fiction
Plato's Symposium: A Translation by Seth Benardete with Commentaries by Allan Bloom and Seth Benardete
A University of Chicago Press edition of Plato's dialogue on love, with Seth Benardete's translation and commentaries by Benardete and Allan Bloom. The book includes the full Symposium plus interpretive essays that treat eros as a philosophical problem rather than a private feeling. The binding is sturdy, the margins are generous, and the cover is sober, the dark blue Chicago design that signals you are buying a book for the text rather than the shelf appeal. Ideal reader: the reader who wants to know what Plato actually says about desire before quoting him at weddings, or the philosophy student who needs a translation with teeth.
