Alexandria is A Great Books Library where you can talk to a tutor — in the book itself — as you read.

Move at a contemplative pace in Lightning Mode, then ask Virgil — your Socratic guide — for context, questions, or counter-arguments.

Virgil blends the depth of the entire classics catalog with a pedagogy crafted by Professor Zohar Atkins and tailors every conversation to your interests.

Features:

• Lightning Mode — focus by reading one sentence at a time.  
• Virgil — an AI tutor that explains passages, challenges your thinking, follows your curiosity, and remembers what excites you.  
• Build and Share your Bookshelf — curate favorites, get smart recommendations, and send highlighted quotes to friends; social bookshelves turn passive libraries into shareable conversations.  
• Daily Sparks — one thought-provoking excerpt every morning, plus a guided conversation with Virgil.  
• 4,000+ Works — all the most iconic thinkers, from Plato and Sun Tzu to Nietzsche and Jane Austen, plus hidden gems for adventurous readers.

Our Mission: to inspire learning as a way of life.
