What if the power to persuade was more dangerous than a sword?

In a verbal battlefield where charisma and cunning meet truth and integrity, Socrates challenges famed rhetoricians Gorgias, Polus, and Callicles. Through riveting argument and fearless logic, Plato explores:

  • The Seduction of Rhetoric – Can a man skilled in words bend justice to his will?

  • Moral Strength vs. Political Might – Who truly has power: the tyrant or the virtuous?

  • The Soul at Stake – A daring argument that how we speak reveals who we are.

  • A Timeless Lesson – In an age of influencers and image, Plato reminds us that character still matters most.

    Perfect for listeners hungry for wisdom in a noisy world, this audiobook delivers an unforgettable intellectual duel that remains shockingly modern.
