Aristophanes portrays intellectuals as an arrogant class of effete and pasty skinned unbelievers. Except for their skills in rhetoric, which help them get around the law and rip people off, their knowledge is of little worldly or practical value. In other words, their heads are figuratively in the clouds (hence the play's title)."Clouds" is funny in places, but also disturbing in its anti-intellectualism and nostalgia for marshal virtues and doubt-free theism. If Aristophanes were alive today, he might be a caustic, and very conservative, Republican (or even a Fascist). For all this, his play has an undeniably contemporary feel in its critiques of rhetoric, and makes a good primer for reflection on the nihilistic and shameless uses of argumentation (as when oil company representatives engage in blatant sophistries to cast doubt on global warming science).But when, at the end of the play, the lead character (Strepsiades) gleefully burns down the school of Socrates, one is sobered by the reactionary nature of the play. The ending reminds one of humanity's long and tragic history of genocide and iconoclasm (the destroying of a rival ideology's texts, idols, symbols, or buildings). The ending of Aristophanes' play clearly suggests that the killing of an entire class of people in his society would be a positive development. It is not without reason that Plato famously attributed Socrates' death, at least in part, to the popular prejudice generated against him by Aristophanes' "Clouds."In short, Aristophanes' play is thought-provoking, funny, and sobering. It's an easy read and, even after 2500 years, still relevant. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Clouds: Illustrated. *by M***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 23, 2013* The Clouds: Illustrated A little light reading, for class. The Clouds, I needed the information in a hurry, but then I like reading anyway. This book was good and worthwhile. It landed in my Kindle book collection, and I take my books with me where ever I go. Love it! Illustrations are alright but not great. I can change the fonts to a size that is comfortable to read without glasses, or I can turn on the text reader and listen. Love my Kindle and love the books that I buy to go with it. The prices are so great, lots of the classics are free, leaving room in the budget to buy the others that are not. One day I may have enough time to read The Clouds for pleasure. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great experience *by K***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 1, 2013* this book came with no problem. There was nothing wrong with it, in great condition as promised. I received it with no issues and in a timely manner. I would recommend this to anyone and this seller as well.
