| Summary/Abstract |
The author tells the story of Gauguin's life and work in a style which should appeal to those encountering the artist for the first time. The reader learns how Gauguin, a successful Paris stockbroker, left his family to sail off to Tahiti on an artistic quest that produced some of the late 19th century's most beautiful and original paintings. Though he was considered a failure during his own time, history paints Gauguin as one of the leading French Post-Impressionists. He developed a conceptual method of representation, using pure colour, strong lines, and two-dimensional patterns.

| Summary/Abstract |
The teacher of Plato and the founder of much of Western philosophy, Socrates is depicted here as a man who questioned everything that was assumed, proclaiming that he knew nothing even as he made others realize their own ignorance. "I'm not a wise person," he would say, "I just love wisdom." This book sketches Socrates' life from his youth as an Athenian soldier to his death in prison in 399 BC, cheerfully unafraid to meet his end while remaining true to his beliefs.
