Summary

Power is never given freely—it is taken, protected, and mastered.
Written for rulers navigating danger and ambition, The Prince strips leadership down to its hard realities. Machiavelli explores how power is gained, maintained, and lost, arguing that effectiveness often matters more than virtue. With bold clarity, he examines deception, authority, fear, loyalty, and the price of control in a world ruled by uncertainty.

Regarded as "the most influential political treatise ever written," this classic has shaped leaders, thinkers, and strategists for centuries. Its insights remain unsettling, provocative, and strikingly relevant in modern politics, business, and leadership.

If you want to understand how power truly works—and why appearances can matter more than intentions—this book is essential reading.

Open the book—and confront the realities behind leadership and power.

    We Two From Heaven - A Memoir

    'A boldly imagined and beautifully written memoir. Whyle's prose is finely tuned, unflinching in its approach to painful subjects, but also laced with wry humour and the sheer delight of being alive.' – Ivan Vladislavic
    We Two from Heaven is a singular memoir, a four-part fugue on the tricks and traps of memory, a shuffling of the cards of time. Episodes from the early life of writer James Whyle are interwoven with the letters of his father from the Western Front during the First World War. Their formative experiences – war, conscription, injury, desertion – flash by, juxtaposed, as if in counterpoint.
    Upending the reader's expectations of a memoir, Whyle then explores the violence and madness of apartheid society as the narrator passes through boarding school and university and takes his first steps to become a writer. Raw and rhythmic, lyrical and caustic, this is an unsparing, formally inventive dissection of human vanities and illusions.
    At the end of history, on the shores of a blue bay, the voices of the past can be heard as we await the arrival of the barbarians – or the baboons, whoever comes first.
