El cinismo oculto del arte de gobernar. El Principe de Maquiavelo es quiza la obra mas discutida, vituperada por unos y elogiada por otros, de toda la literatura política universal.

In a world where children murder children, and where gun violence is the worst in Europe, Nicolas Lunabba's job as a social organizer with Malmö's underclass requires firm boundaries and emotional detachment. But all that changes when he meets Elijah – an unruly teenage boy of mixed heritage whose perilous future reminds Nicolas of his own troubled past amongst the marginalized people who live on the fringes of every society. Allowing Elijah into his home and then into his heart, Nicolas crosses one of his own red lines.

Tomás Cruz swore he would never be like his father, an abusive cocaine junkie whose gangland exploits are notorious throughout the underbelly of northern Argentina. When Samuel Cruz is sentenced to thirteen years in prison, he leaves a laundry list of unfinished cartel business.

Now fifteen years has passed, Seba has been arrested, and the ruthless cartel boss is holding his wife and daughter as collateral—just in time for the holidays.

Ninety percent of what we’ve been taught about entrepreneurship, business strategy, and marketing is wrong. Without a differentiated POV, you are just like everyone else. No matter how cool, clever, or expensive your branding is. Short, sweet, and to the point, this is an audiobook for how you can attract customers, clients, fans, and followers.

Category Pirates — Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon, and Nicolas Cole — see a meaningful percentage of marketers, entrepreneurs, and executives trapped in what they like to call the "Brand Cult".

They became successful by creating and dominating a new and differentiated category with which their brand became synonymous. Because categories make brands. Not the other way around.

The Essential Englishman is a fascinating portrait that seeks to define at least some of the Englishman's attitudes, to celebrate his successes, admire his strengths, to glance with understanding at his weaknesses and also to reflect the way that others see him. The archetypal Englishman, it seems, adores animals yet has a passion for fox hunting; he has founded empires but has an inherent mistrust for anything foreign; he is suspicious of government yet trusts his (unwritten) Constitution implicitly.

Nicolas Gogol es considerado como uno de los padres del realismo literario, pero en sus cuentos casi podría decirse que no solo hay realismo sino tambien una buena dosis de surrealismo, el mismo que se pondría de moda casi un siglo mas tarde, por lo que el insigne escrito es igualmente un precursor.
