Sinopse

In Niccolò Machiavelli's 'The Prince', readers are introduced to a groundbreaking political treatise filled with astute observations and controversial advice on acquiring and maintaining power. Written in a clear and straightforward style, the book serves as a manual on leadership during the tumultuous Renaissance period. Machiavelli's work challenges traditional notions of morality and explores the harsh realities of politics through its concise and pragmatic approach. 'The Prince' is a timeless classic that continues to provoke thought and debate in the realm of political theory. Niccolò Machiavelli, a prominent Italian diplomat and philosopher, drew upon his experience in Florentine politics to pen 'The Prince'. His firsthand knowledge of political machinations and power struggles inspired him to write this seminal work, which remains essential reading for students of political science. Machiavelli's daring critique of conventional ethics and advocacy for practical leadership strategies set him apart as a revolutionary thinker in his time. For readers interested in delving into the complexities of political theory and leadership, 'The Prince' by Niccolò Machiavelli is an indispensable resource. This thought-provoking book offers valuable insights into the nature of power and governance, making it a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of political philosophy.

    "In a world of cold calculation, can a heart of fire survive?"
    
    Born the son of a provincial carpenter, Julien Sorel is possessed by a brilliant mind and a dangerous obsession with Napoleon Bonaparte. Realizing that the "Red" path of military glory is closed to him in the stagnant era of the Bourbon Restoration, he chooses the "Black" path of the clergy as a means to power. Julien's journey takes him from the bedchambers of provincial nobility to the glittering salons of Paris, as he maneuvers through a society where hypocrisy is the only language spoken fluently. Caught between his genuine passion for the gentle Madame de Rênal and his intellectual fascination with the haughty Mathilde de la Mole, Julien finds that the climb to the top is paved with secrets that could lead to his ultimate downfall.
    
    The "Red" vs. the "Black": The title serves as a perfect metaphor for Julien's internal conflict. The "Red" represents the lost glory of the battlefield and the meritocracy of the Empire, while the "Black" represents the mourning clothes of the Church and the subtle, often corrupt, influence of the priesthood. Julien is a hero who plays a part he despises to achieve a status he craves.
    
    A Pioneer of Psychology: Stendhal was one of the first novelists to focus intensely on "inner monologue." He provides a window into Julien's constant self-analysis and strategic thinking, revealing the anxiety and pride that drive every move. It is a remarkably modern look at how we construct our identities to fit the expectations of others.
    
    Why It Is a Literary Essential: The Red and the Black is the ultimate "outsider" novel. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt like they were watching life from the sidelines, planning their entry. It is a thrilling, tragic, and bitingly funny critique of a society that rewards the mask more than the man.
    
    Witness the rise and fall of Julien Sorel. Purchase "The Red and the Black" today.

    The last year of the war saw Russian offensives that cleared the Germans out of their final strongholds in Finland and the Baltic states, before advancing into Finnmark in Norway and the east European states that bordered Germany: Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. By spring 1945 the Red Army had reached to Vienna and the Balkans, and had thrust deep into Germany where they met American, French, and British troops advancing from the west. The final days of the Third Reich were at hand. Berlin was first surrounded, then attacked and taken. Hitler's suicide and his successors' unconditional surrender ended the war. 
     
     
     
    For writers and historians who concentrate on the Western Allies and the battles in France and the Low Countries, the Eastern Front comes as a shock. The sheer size of both the territories and the forces involved; the savagery of both weather and the fighting; the appalling suffering of the civilian populations of all countries; and the wreckage of towns and cities—it's no wonder that words like Armageddon are used to describe the annihilation. 
     
     
     
    A must-listen narrative history, Red Army into the Reich provides a detailed account of how the Red Army pushed west and into Berlin in 1945.

    Written in 1686 by the celebrated German polymath Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, Discourse on Metaphysics is a short, early work in which Leibniz explains how the Earth, which was created by God (an undeniably perfect being), is therefore blessed with the same purity and perfection as its creator.  Leibniz was one of the most important philosophers of the Enlightenment era and was a contemporary of Isaac Newton. But today, Leibniz's best remembered for his work in developing differential and integral calculus. A renowned rationalist - ranked with Rene Descartes and Baruch Spinoza - Leibniz himself made extraordinary discoveries in the fields of - among others- philosophy, politics, theology, history, philology, law and politics.  A seeming autodidact, Leibniz authored tens of thousands of letters and manuscripts on such disparate topics as physics, biology, geology and computer science.

    In this volume, our focus shifts slightly to the actual personality types; everyone should be aware of and susceptible to when they cross our paths. These are the people you probably don't want to know. 
    Why? They're people who really don't like other people. Well, they do, but what they like about people is exploiting, damaging, and controlling them. They like people for what they can do for them financially, in their careers, and in terms of their status in society. 
    We've covered some of the general personality types in Book One of our series. That information will have given you some insight into the people you meet and how to read them. But what I've saved for this volume is an examination of those who walk among us who are corrosive and psychologically compromised. Also, in this book, you'll be reading about the role of intuition in detecting the truth about situations and people and how to foster and use it to protect yourself and others from the excesses of the disorders described in this book. 
    We'll be focusing on personality disorders, the behaviors of those who are burdened with them, and how to see them coming. There are tell-tale signs early on in interactions with these people that can save you a lot of drama and chaos.  
    As you move along, you'll note an overlap between symptoms and behaviors. In the Cluster B personality disorders, we'll be looking at, the symptomatic overlap is not only common but expected. Further, those who fall under the headings in the cluster often have what is referred to as "co-morbidities." These are the double whammy types, who live with more than one personality challenge or disorder.
