Machiavelli was an Italian diplomat, historian and political theorist who wrote this book sometime around 1513. In 1512 the Medici's came to power and he lost his post in Florence. It is believed he wrote this book in an effort to win them over and be taken back into politics. It is now the world's most well-known political reference. It is also considered to be the first book on modern political philosophy, where effective truth is considered more important than abstract ideals. Therefore, immoral means are acceptable in "The Prince" when used to achieve the aims of princes and politicians seeking personal glory or the advancement of their careers. This may have been necessary during the time it was written, but many, including Diderot and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, considered "The Prince" to be more of a satire. Whatever its purpose may have been, it is clearly one of the most brilliant books ever written.

The New York Times bestseller and basis for #1 smash hit movie starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.With millions of copies in print around the world, Gregory Maguire's Wicked is established not only as a commentary on our time but as a novel to revisit for years to come. Wicked relishes the inspired inventions of L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while playing sleight of hand with our collective memories of the 1939 MGM film starring Margaret Hamilton (and Judy Garland). In this fast-paced, fantastically real, and supremely entertaining novel, Maguire has populated the largely unknown world of Oz with the power of his own imagination. Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skin-no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz's most promising young citizens.But Elphaba's Oz is no utopia. The Wizard's secret police are everywhere. Animals-those creatures with voices, souls, and minds-are threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animals-even if it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Ever wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas. Recognized as an iconoclastic tour de force on its initial publication, the novel has inspired the blockbuster musical of the same name-one of the longest-running plays in Broadway history. Popular, indeed. But while the novel's distant cousins hail from the traditions of magical realism, mythopoeic fantasy, and sprawling nineteenth-century sagas of moral urgency, Maguire's Wicked is as unique as its green-skinned witch.
Revisit one of the most important pillars in modern philosophy with this new English translation—the first in more than 60 years—of Jean-Paul Sartre’s seminal treatise on existentialism. "This is a philosophy to be reckoned with, both for its own intrinsic power and as a profound symptom of our time” (The New York Times).In 1943, Jean-Paul Sartre published his masterpiece, Being and Nothingness, and laid the foundation of his legacy as one of the greatest twentieth century philosophers. A brilliant and radical account of the human condition, Being and Nothingness explores what gives our lives significance.In a new and more accessible translation, this foundational text argues that we alone create our values and our existence is characterized by freedom and the inescapability of choice. Far from being an internal, passive container for our thoughts and experiences, human consciousness is constantly projecting itself into the outside world and imbuing it with meaning.Now with a new foreword by Harvard professor of philosophy Richard Moran, this clear-eyed translation guarantees that the groundbreaking ideas that Sartre introduced in this resonant work will continue to inspire for generations to come.
Paul Baumer enlisted with his classmates in the German army of World War I. Youthful, enthusiastic, they become soldiers. But despite what they have learned, they break into pieces under the first bombardment in the trenches. And as horrible war plods on year after year, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the principles of hate that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against each other - if only he can come out of the war alive."The world has a great writer in Erich Maria Remarque. He is a craftsman of unquestionably first trank, a man who can bend language to his will. Whether he writes of men or of inanimate nature, his touch is sensitive, firm, and sure."

Set largely on the pages of a website where gay male escorts are reviewed by their clients, and told through the postings, emails, and conversations of several dozen unreliable narrators, The Sluts chronicles the evolution of one young escort's date with a satisfied client into a metafiction of pornography, lies, half-truths, and myth.

In this New York Times bestselling "charming debut” (People)—soon to be a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks—from one of Sweden’s most successful authors, a grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door.Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him "the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time?Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations.A feel-good story in the spirit of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand, Fredrik Backman’s novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. "If there was an award for 'Most Charming Book of the Year,’ this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down” (Booklist, starred review).

Sind wir die Nächsten? Carlo Masalas aufrüttelndes Szenario Nachdem die russischen Truppen die unter massivem Munitions- und Personalmangel leidenden Stellungen der ukrainischen Armee im Süden und Osten des Landes durchbrochen haben, rücken sie erneut bis nach Kiew vor - diesmal erfolgreich. Präsident Selensky und seine Regierung werden gestürzt, ein autoritäres Marionettenregime von Moskaus Gnaden rückt an ihre Stelle. Während die russische Gesellschaft weiter auf Kriegswirtschaft umgestellt bleibt, kann sich die gewaltige und nunmehr kampferprobte Armee des Landes in den folgenden Jahren erholen. Und sie hat aus ihren Fehlern in der Frühphase des Ukrainekriegs gelernt. Zudem rüsten China, Iran und Nordkorea ihren Verbündeten in Moskau weiter auf. Die Amerikaner haben sich militärisch inzwischen weitgehend aus Europa zurückgezogen, um alle Kräfte auf den drohenden Krieg mit China im Pazifik zu konzentrieren. Deutschland und Frankreich haben es immer noch nicht geschafft, eine schlagkräftige europäische Sicherheitsallianz aufzubauen. Und am frühen Morgen eines milden Märztages im Jahr 2028 rücken russische Panzer, flankiert von Bombern und unterstützt von massivem Raketenbeschuss, im Baltikum ein. Im NATO-Hauptquartier in Brüssel muss eine Entscheidung getroffen werden, bevor die Dinge ihren Lauf nehmen ... Es ist nur ein hypothetisches Zukunftsszenario, das der renommierte Politikwissenschaftler und Militärexperte Carlo Masala in seinem neuen Buch entwirft - aber es zeigt auf besonders drastische Weise, was heute auf dem Spiel steht. "Je weiter Russland in der Ukraine vorrückt, desto wahrscheinlicher wird ein europäischer Flächenbrand, der auch Deutschland erfasst." - Carlo Masala ist der gefragteste Sicherheitsexperte Deutschlands und regelmäßiger Gast im TV - Er hat ca. 170.000 Follower bei X - Wenn Russland in der Ukraine gewinnt - ein aufrüttelndes Szenario über die Folgen für Deutschland und Europa - Vom Fall Kiews zum russischen Einmarsch ins Baltikum: Wie würde die NATO reagieren, falls es dazu kommt?
