Jacket 'as is', flap hinges and cover edges were reinforced with unobtrusive clear tape due to a number of small chips and tears around the edges and hinges, inch piece chipped from jacket rear bottom right corner, chipping to front top edge as well; little wear to the book itself, as the jacket took the brunt. Jacket now in Brodart for preservation. A good strong hardcover copy. Previous owner's name neatly penned to the ffep gutter of Prof John Michelsen, dept of Philosophy at UVic. Text is clean. 'There are innumerable translations of Plato's Republic into English (the Jowett and the Cornford being the best known). But Professor Allan Bloom's version will be the only available translation which attempts to be strictly literal. . . Moreover, [he] is convinced that the Platonic dialogues are written on several levels and that the text is never as simple and straightforward as it seems at a cursory glance. He has therefore provided those of us who do not read Greek with the closest translation of the original that has yet been published in English, in order that we can come to our own interpretations rather than be dependent on the translator's incomplete interpretation. In addition to the text itself there is a rich and invaluable interpretive essay - as well as indexes and a glossary of terms - which will better enable the student to approach the heart of Plato's intention.' Translated with Notes and Interpretive Essay by Allan Bloom. 2nd Printing, 1968. xx+487 pages. Photos available upon request. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall.…
