Socrates: His Life and Philosophical Activity

These biographical essays were published about a hundred years ago in the series "The Life of Remarkable People," produced by F.F. Pavlenkov (1839–1900). Written in a new for that time genre—poetic chronicle and historical-cultural research—these texts still hold value to this day. Intended "for ordinary people," for the Russian province, today they can be recommended not only to bibliophiles, but to the broadest reading audience: both those who are completely unacquainted with the history and psychology of great people, and those for whom these subjects are a profession.
