What is the relationship of the individual to the state? What is the ideal state, and how can it bring about the most desirable life for its citizens? What sort of education should it provide? What is the purpose of amassing wealth? These are some of the questions Aristotle attempts to answer in one of the most intellectually stimulating works. Both heavily influenced by and critical of Plato's Republic and Laws, Politics represents the distillation of a lifetime of thought and observation. "Encyclopaedic knowledge has never, before or since, gone hand in hand with a logic so masculine or with speculation so profound," says H. W. C. Davis in his introduction. Students, teachers, and scholars will welcome this inexpensive new edition of the Benjamin Jowett translation, as will all readers interested in Greek thought, political theory, and depictions of the ideal state.

"Solaris" è il capolavoro della fantascienza filosofica. Siamo nel lembo più estremo dell'universo esplorato dal genere umano. Un astronauta, dalla Terra, approda nella stazione spaziale che gira intorno al pianeta Solaris. Qui trova un'atmosfera di mistero e sospetto: nessuno lo accoglie, i pochi ospiti della astronave sembrano angosciati e sopraffatti, c'è un morto recente a cui si allude con circospezione ma senza sorpresa, gli oggetti subiscono strane deformazioni, si avvertono presenze. Solaris è noto agli umani come il grande pianeta "vivente". Appare in forma di vasto oceano e avrebbe dovuto conflagrare se la sua orbita avesse seguito le leggi della fisica. Ma è come dotato di capacità cosciente di reazione e questa capacità sembra legata alle apparizioni di fantasmi, proiezioni viventi di incubi, sogni e fantasie. L'astronauta è costretto a interrogarsi, mentre lo contagia la stessa angoscia che domina in tutto l'ambiente. Un'avv...

This "profound and disturbing" (New York Times Book Review) bestseller written by a Guantánamo prisoner will soon be a major feature film starring Jodie Foster and Tahar Rahim. When The Mauritanian was first published as Guantánamo Diary in 2015--heavily redacted by the U.S. government--Mohamedou Ould Slahi was still imprisoned at the detainee camp in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, despite a federal court ruling ordering his release, and it was unclear when or if he would ever see freedom. In October 2016 he was finally released and reunited with his family. During his fourteen-year imprisonment the United States never charged him with a crime. Now he is able to tell his story in full, with previously censored material restored. This searing diary is not merely a vivid record of a miscarriage of justice, but a deeply personal memoir--terrifying, darkly humorous, and surprisingly gracious. The Mauritanian is a document of immense emotional power and historical importance. ...
