The Prince

Niccolo Machiavelli

Maison d'édition: Zenith Whispering Pines Publishers

Synopsis

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.

Family Lexicon

Natalia Ginzburg, Peg Boyers

An Italian family, sizable, with its routines and rituals, crazes, pet phrases, and stories, doubtful, comical, indispensable, comes to life in the pages of Natalia Ginzburg's Family Lexicon. Giuseppe Levi, the father, is a scientist, consumed by his work and a mania for hiking—when he isn't provoked into angry remonstration by someone misspeaking or misbehaving or wearing the wrong thing. Giuseppe is Jewish, married to Lidia, a Catholic, though neither is religious; they live in the industrial city of Turin where, as the years pass, their children find ways of their own to medicine, marriage, literature, politics. It is all very ordinary, except that the background to the story is Mussolini's Italy in its steady downward descent to race law and world war. The Levis are, among other things, unshakeable anti-fascists. That will complicate their lives. 
 
 
 
Family Lexicon is about a family and language—and about storytelling not only as a form of survival but also as an instrument of deception and domination. The book takes the shape of a novel, yet everything is true. "Every time that I have found myself inventing something in accordance with my old habits as a novelist, I have felt impelled at once to destroy [it]," Ginzburg tells us at the start. "The places, events, and people are all real."
