Afropean is an on-the-ground documentary of areas where Europeans of African descent are juggling their multiple allegiances and forging new identities. Here is an alternative map of the continent, taking the reader to places like Cova Da Moura, the Cape Verdean shantytown on the outskirts of Lisbon with its own underground economy, and Rinkeby, the area of Stockholm that is 80 per cent Muslim. Johny Pitts visits the former Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow, where West African students are still making the most of Cold War ties with the USSR, and Clichy Sous Bois in Paris, which gave birth to the 2005 riots, all the while presenting Afropeans as lead actors in their own story.

In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.

Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.

“تعتبر رواية “الجريمة والعقاب” إحدى قمم الأعمال الإنسانية، إنها ذلك اللغز المفتوح على النفس الإنسانية، وما يدور في أعماقها، والمفتوح على قضايا الموجود، والعذاب، والخير، والشرّ، والحب، والجريمة، والجنون، والأهواء، والمنفعة، والمرض… إلى جانب أحط الدناءات… كيف أن الإنسان يحمل في داخله قوة تنفيذ الجريمة ورغبة تحقيق العدالة
إن شخصيّة راسكولنيكوف هي محاولة لفهم تعقيدات الشخصية الإنسانية مقدماً عدداً من التفسيرات، مناقشاً الدوافع والبواعث الكامنة في اللاوعي والتي حَدَت راسكولنيكوف للتصّرف بما يخالف المنطق.
يطرح دوستويفسكي فكرة إستحالة معرفة الإنسان، ويجبرنا على أن نتطلّع إلى ما يكمن في نفوسنا، وأن نعثر فيها على تلك الأهواء التي تعصف بأبطاله، وكيف أن النفس الإنسانية تحمل في آن أسمى المثل .

Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a mysterious book hidden in the stacks. As he turns the pages, entranced by tales of lovelorn prisoners, key collectors, and nameless acolytes, he reads something strange: a story from his own childhood. Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be recorded, Zachary uncovers a series of clues—a bee, a key, and a sword—that lead him to a masquerade party in New York, to a secret club, and through a doorway to an ancient library hidden far below the surface of the earth. What Zachary finds in this curious place is more than just a buried home for books and their guardians—it is a place of lost cities and seas, lovers who pass notes under doors and across time, and of stories whispered by the dead. Zachary learns of those who have sacrificed much to protect this realm, relinquishing their sight and their tongues to preserve this archive, and also of those who are intent on its destruction. Together with Mirabel, a fierce, pink-haired protector of the place, and Dorian, a handsome, barefoot man with shifting alliances, Zachary travels the twisting tunnels, darkened stairwells, crowded ballrooms, and sweetly soaked shores of this magical world, discovering his purpose—in both the mysterious book and in his own life.
