The Prince

by Niccolò Machiavelli

Description

Published in 1532, The Prince is a shockingly frank guide to the art of cultivating power. How does one establish power and maintain control over other people—or an entire nation? How does a prince relate to his citizens? Machiavelli's brilliant and cold-blooded vision reflects on all of the necessary aspects of leadership. His advice always cuts to the chase, stating that if a prince must choose between being loved or feared, it is better to be feared. No ingredient in the recipe for absolute power is left out, whether it concerns military control or day-to-day princely behavior. Machiavelli's work has remained a classic political treatise for centuries. Its honest and realistic insight has stayed fresh and eye-opening to this day.

Divine Comedy - The Inferno

by Dante Aligheri

Description

Dante's Inferno is one of the grandest visions ever conceived of a frightening world beyond our own. What does the underworld look like? Who ends up there? What happens to these unlucky souls? Dante's picture of hell is vivid and relentless, straight out of our worst nightmares. His Inferno is composed of nine vast circles, each with a more devastating punishment than the previous one. Each level of this realm features a torture specifically tailored to the nature of the sin being punished. Those who were materialistic or greedy on earth are doomed to push massive boulders back and forth, nearly breaking under the strain of the heavy objects. The lustful swirl about in a horrible cave of winds, never resting. Born out of a medieval sensibility about virtue, sin, heaven, and hell, Dante's work survives today, a rich and detailed work of literary art: both dark and brilliant, wondrous and terrifying.
