Sinopse

Niccolò Machiavelli's 'The Prince' stands as a seminal work in political philosophy, exploring the complexities of power, governance, and human nature. Written in the early 16th century, this treatise adopts a pragmatic and often ruthless approach to statecraft, challenging the moralistic views of its time. Machiavelli's literary style is characterized by directness and clarity, employing historical examples to illustrate his arguments. The work delves into the balances of virtue and vice, the efficacy of deception, and the role of fortune, positioning itself firmly within the context of Renaissance humanism and the tumultuous political landscape of Italy. Machiavelli, born in Florence in 1469, was a diplomat and political thinker deeply influenced by the instability of Italian city-states during his life. His experiences, including imprisonment and exile, fostered a disillusionment with idealistic political theories, prompting him to advocate for realpolitik. 'The Prince' reflects his desire to provide pragmatic advice to rulers, drawn from both classical and contemporary sources, as a means of achieving stability and strength in governance. Recommended for students of political science, history, and philosophy, 'The Prince' invites readers to confront the uncomfortable truths of power dynamics. Its enduring relevance and provocative insights encourage critical reflection on leadership and ethics, making it essential reading for anyone grappling with the complexities of authority and morality in modern contexts.

    Freedom From The Known

    Born in poverty in India, Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986) became a leading spiritual and philosophical thinker whose ideas continue to influence us today. George Bernard Shaw declared that he was the most beautiful human being he had ever seen and Aldous Huxley was one of his close friends. Whether debating politics with Nehru, discussing theories with Rupert Sheldrake and Iris Murdoch, or challenging his students not to take his words at face value, Krishnamurti engaged fully with every aspect of life. He is regarded by many modern religious figures as a great teacher, an extraordinary individual with revolutionary insights; Joseph Campbell, Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra are all indebted to his writings.
     
    Freedom from the Known is one of Krishnamurti's most accessible works. Here, he reveals how we can free ourselves radically and immediately from the tyranny of the expected. By changing ourselves, we can alter the structure of society and our relationships. The vital need for change and the recognition of its very possibility form an essential part of this important book's message.

    In 1918 a famed general of the Russian White Army battled through the Red Army to save Emperor Nicholas II—but he arrived too late. The Romanovs had already been murdered. 
     
     
     
    In this thrilling true-life detective story, we follow Anna, the general's courageous young daughter, who fled across the continent and boarded a ship with her husband to escape the bloodshed. Beneath her bunk was a box, and in this box lay grisly evidence of what had become of Russia's royal family, the Romanovs. Generations later, Anna's grandson Peter Sarandinaki set out to finish his great-grandfather's mission to find the Romanovs' remains, enlisting searchers and scientists to finally piece together the answers to some of history's most perplexing questions: What really happened to Tsar Nicholas, Empress Alexandra, and their children? And what about the tsar's brother, Mikhail, who simply disappeared? 
     
     
     
    A riveting and deeply personal story, In Search of the Romanovs reveals hidden truths in the legends about the murder and disappearance of Russia's most famous royal family.
