The Prince By NICCOLO MACHIAVELLI

Introduction by Anthony Grafton

Translated by George Bull

Notes by George Bull

Machiavelli’s highly influential treatise on political power

The Prince shocked Europe on publication with its advocacy of ruthless tactics for gaining absolute power and its abandonment of conventional morality. Niccoló Machiavelli drew on his own experience of office under the turbulent Florentine republic, rejecting traditional values of political theory and recognizing the complicated, transient nature of political life. Concerned not with lofty ideal but with a regime that would last, The Prince has become the bible of realpolitik, and it still retains its power to alarm and to instruct. In this edition, Machiavelli’s tough-minded and pragmatic Italian is preserved in George Bull’s clear, unambiguous translation

Mattimeo By BRIAN JACQUES Part of Redwall (#1876) series

New York Times bestselling author Brian Jacques gives us another tale of Redwall, filled with “The Knights of the Round Table with paws” (The Sunday Times) along with their friends and enemies.

Slagar the fox hated Redwall Abbey—its peaceable creatures, its fearless mouse warrior Matthias. He blamed Matthias for the injuries he’d suffered…but his quest for vengeance would have to be a cunning one, for he knew the power of the legendary Redwall sword.

Above all, he knew, the Redwallers cherished their young. So Slagar would steal them from under their very noses—and the greatest prize of all would be Matthias’s son, Mattimeo

The Social Contract By JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU Translated by Maurice Cranston

 “Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains”

These are the famous opening words of a treatise that has not ceased to stir vigorous debate since its first publication in 1762. Rejecting the view that anyone has a natural right to wield authority over others, Rousseau argues instead for a pact, or ‘social contract’, that should exist between all the citizens of a state and that should be the source of sovereign power. From this fundamental premise, he goes on to consider issues of liberty and law, freedom and justice, arriving at a view of society that has seemed to some a blueprint for totalitarianism, to others a declaration of democratic principles.

ABOUT MACBETH

No dramatist has ever seen with more frightening clarity into the heart and mind of a murderer than has Shakespeare in this compelling tragedy of evil. Taunted into asserting his “masculinity” by his ambitious wife, Macbeth chooses to embrace the Weird Sisters’ prophecy and kill his king–and thus, seals his own doom. Fast-moving and bloody, this drama has the extraordinary energy that derives from a brilliant plot replete with treachery and murder, and from Shakespeare’s compelling portrait of the ultimate battle between a mind and its own guilt.

Each Edition Includes:

• • Comprehensive explanatory notes
• • Vivid introductions and the most up-to-date scholarship
• • Clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, enabling contemporary readers to understand the Elizabethan English
• • Completely updated, detailed bibliographies and performance histories
• • An interpretive essay on film adaptations of the play, along with an extensive filmography
