Sinopse

A military strategist and general of the fifth or sixth century BC, Sun Tzu served the state of Wu near the end of the Spring and Autumn period. He is traditionally ascribed as the author of ‘The Art of War’, a systematic guide to strategy and tactics for rulers and commanders. The book discusses various manoeuvres and the effect of terrain on the outcome of battles. It stresses the importance of accurate information about the enemy’s forces, dispositions and deployments and movements. The treatise’s insistence on the close relationship between political considerations and military policy went to inform the thinking of politicians, generals and noted leaders across the world.  Delphi’s Eastern Treasures Series provides eReaders with rare and precious works of Middle-Eastern and Asian literature, featuring prominent works of history, fiction, religion and philosophy, complemented with the original texts.  This eBook presents Sun Tzu’s complete works, with illustrations, a concise introduction, multiple translations and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    (What is happiness?)
    “Beef, the taste of being together.”
    (What is religion?)
    “Because you’re worth it.”
    (Who am I?)
    The “creators” of ads seem to be teaching us to live through the great “concepts” of philosophy, such as happiness, freedom, nature, the self or religion. But how many ounces of philosophy are there in this world of ads? That’s the question this book asks, without forgetting to include a dose of humor in its ingredients.

    Feudalism - The Structure of...

    Feudalism emerged in Western Europe as a response to the collapse of centralized authority following the fall of the Roman Empire. As Roman institutions crumbled in the 5th century, Europe descended into a period of instability and fragmentation. Without the protection and infrastructure once provided by Rome, people turned to local leaders for safety and organization. These leaders—often wealthy landowners or military figures—became the foundation of a new social and political structure that emphasized land ownership, loyalty, and mutual obligation. 
    The early roots of feudal practices can be traced to the relationships that formed during this chaotic period. In the absence of a strong central government, powerful individuals began offering protection to those around them in exchange for service or labor. Over time, this informal system developed into a structured hierarchy, with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. Lords granted land, known as fiefs, to their vassals, who in return pledged loyalty and military support. This mutual dependency became the backbone of medieval society and formalized the relationships that had organically formed during the earlier periods of uncertainty. 
    Localized power became the defining feature of feudal Europe. With no single empire to unify the continent, authority became decentralized. Kings often ruled in name only, while real control rested in the hands of regional lords and nobles. These lords governed their own territories, enforced laws, and maintained private armies. In turn, they depended on the support of lesser vassals and knights, who managed smaller portions of land and fulfilled military duties. This layered structure ensured that each level of society relied on those above and below, creating a rigid yet stable social order.
