Part of Assouline’s Hospitality Collection offering the reader an awe-inspiring look into the world’s most luxurious hotels. With page after page of stunning photos, each book reveals both the stories behind these iconic hotels and the world-class design and attention to detail that underpin a seamless, discreet experience, providing the ultimate home-away-from-home adventure.

Named the World’s Best Hotel in 2023, Passalacqua embodies the very essence of the Italian dream. This eighteenth-century estate sits within mature terraced gardens overlooking Lake Como, offering just twenty-four intimate rooms and suites designed for ultimate relaxation and refined luxury. Reimagined as a true home away from home, it is both a welcome retreat after a day of exploring the region’s breathtaking beauty and a haven you may never want to leave.

This volume was created in close collaboration with owners Paolo, Antonella, and Valentina De Santis, inviting guests to spend unforgettable days on the grounds of Passalacqua. From the moment you pass through the gates to the moment you leave—reluctantly— the experience unfolds like a dream. Passalacqua: A Love Letter to Lake Como features exclusive illustrations from Andrea Ferolla, photography from Daria Reina, and reflections from beloved guests such as J.J. Martin, Donna Hay, and Emilia Wickstead.

Guided tour through a difficult work
Format: Paperback
For the non-expert reader of Plato, this is a very good text for working through Timaeus. Actually, it may be useful to expert readers as well, but I wouldn't know about that, being firmly situated in the non-expert camp. Though some scholars may take exception to certain parts of Cornford's translation and interpretation, for those of us trying to get through it for the first time and on our own, this is still an exceptional guide. By the way, for an alternative translation and interpretation, the reader may want to check out Kalkavage's translation (Focus Philosophical Library), it is very good (I would rate it 5 stars also) and has some extremely helpful appendices for understanding references to music, astronomy, and geometry.

Cornford's Plato Cosmology/Timaeus
Format: Paperback
This is an excellent and invaluable reference book for Plato's Timaeus. If you are reading Timaeus you MUST have this book. It contains line-by-line commentary, and also, most valuable, some very helpful illustrations (example: illustration of the human body as Timaeus explained it). I would, however, balance this book with other books that attempt to place Timaeus within the rest of Plato's works. I recommend, for example, Peter Kalkavage's Timaeus. There, he attempts to link Timaeus and Republic.
