  While visiting his ailing father in Sydney, the author discovers an old suitcase thrown out on the street. Curiosity gets the better of him and he opens it.

A maverick entrepreneur with the Midas touch, a convicted criminal with impeccable tastes, a publican and theatre impresario, a gap-toothed lover of beautiful women from all over the world.

  Self-Reliance

  Self-Reliance is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. It is the source of one of Emerson's most famous quotations: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines." This essay is an analysis into the nature of the “aboriginal self on which a universal reliance may be grounded.” Emerson emphasizes the importance of individualism and its effect on an individual's satisfaction in life. He stresses that anyone is capable of achieving happiness, simply if they change their mindset. Emerson focuses on seemingly insignificant details explaining how life is "learning and forgetting and learning again".

  The Communist Manifesto

  Karl Marx

  "Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains".
  The Communist Manifesto lays out the principles of Marxism, analysing the historical development of class struggles and the dynamics of capitalism. Marx and Engels argue that all history is the history of class conflict, and that capitalism, like previous systems, contains the seeds of its own destruction. Written in 1848, The Communist Manifesto remains one of the most influential political documents ever written, presenting a laser-sharp critique of inequality and presenting a vision for a radically different, classless society where "the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all."
  
  But the Manifesto is most valuable as an historical document, one that led to the greatest political upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and to the establishment of the Communist governments that until recently ruled half the globe.
  Karl Marx (1818–1883) was a German philosopher, historian, sociologist, economist, and revolutionary socialist best known for co-authoring The Communist Manifesto and writing Das Kapital. Due to his political writings, he was forced to live in exile in London, where he continued to develop his thought in collaboration with German thinker Friedrich Engels and publish his writings. His ideas have had enormous influence on political and philosophical thought, laid the foundation for modern communism and have influenced political movements worldwide.
  Friedrich Engels (1820–1895) was a German philosopher, social scientist, and political theorist best known for his collaboration with Karl Marx. Born in Barmen, Prussia (now Wuppertal, Germany), Engels came from a wealthy textile manufacturing family. His early experiences in the family business exposed him to the harsh realities of industrial capitalism, which shaped his views on class struggle and social justice. Engels was a strong advocate for workers' rights and played a key role in the development of Marxist thought. He died in 1895 in London, leaving a lasting legacy in political theory.
