The Prince (9780486272740)



As a young Florentine envoy to the courts of France and the Italian principalities, Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) was able to observe firsthand the lives of people strongly united under one powerful ruler. His fascination with that political rarity and his intense desire to see the Medici family assume a similar role in Italy provided the foundation for his primer for princes. In this classic guide to acquiring and maintaining political power, Machiavelli used a rational approach to advise prospective rulers, developing logical arguments and alternatives for a number of potential problems, among them governing hereditary monarchies, dealing with colonies and the treatment of conquered peoples. Refreshing in its directness, yet often disturbing in its cold practicality, The Prince sets down a frighteningly pragmatic formula for political fortune. Starkly relevant to the political upheavals of the 20th century, this calculating prescription for power remains today, nearly 500 years after it was written, a timely and startling lesson in the practice of autocratic rule that continues to be much read and studied by students, scholars and general readers as well.

Manner fuhren, Frauen folgen? : Geschlechterbeziehungen im echten Leben und im Tango (3746082005)

Dazu sind beide seit langen Jahren dem argentinischen Tango verfallen. Und nun schreiben Manuela Bößel und Peter Ripota auch noch gemeinsam ein Buch - gar zum Thema Geschlechterbeziehungen! Zudem zwei Menschen, die fest, ja manchmal stur zu ihren Überzeugungen stehen ... Kann das gutgehen? Nein. Aber die Dokumente ihres Scheiterns an der alten Menschheitsfrage Passen Männer und Frauen zusammen? sind spannend, witzig und manchmal sogar charmant, ja erhellend. Das Problem ist nur: Viele Leser könnten sich wiedererkennen. Das mag fallweise ernüchtern ... Dieses Buch richtet sich nicht speziell an Tanzende. Der ihnen wohl vertraute Tango liefert den Autoren aber Laborbedingungen zur Lösung der Frage, was eine Beziehung so erhebend oder kaputt macht. Die Auswirkungen im Freiland sind gleichermaßen für alle Frauen, Männer oder Dazwischenl...
