The Iron Heel
常被譽為「現代反烏托邦小說的鼻祖」,傑克·倫敦(Jack London)的《鐵蹄》細筆勾勒出美國境內寡頭獨裁悄然成形的軌跡。在倫敦洋洋灑灑的創作生涯中,本書無疑是其社會主義理念展現最為坦率而鏗鏘的一部。作為一九六〇、七〇年代軟科幻敘事的先聲,全書將目光投向社會與政治的未來變局,至於科技層面的演進,則僅以淡筆輕輕帶過。

圖斯庫盧姆辯論
Cicero composed these discourses while in his villa in Tusculum as he was mourning the death of his daughter, in order to convey his philosophy of how to live wisely and well. They take the form of fictional dialogues between Cicero and his friends, with each one focusing on a particular Stoic theme. The first, “On the Contempt of Death,” reminds us that mortality is nothing to be upset about.…

王爵
《君王論》是有史以來最具爭議的權力之書——談論如何奪取權力,也談論如何緊握權力。馬基維利以冷硬、務實的筆觸論證:有時候,唯有暫時放下道德,方能真正成事。這樣鮮明的主張讓他惡名昭彰,卻也讓本書從此成為歷代戰略家、政治人物與商界人士案頭必讀的現實政治終極指南。
如何讓一位領袖既能堅毅果決,又能贏得追隨者的忠誠?該怎麼有效牽制敵人?寧可令人畏懼,還是受人愛戴?當規則必須被打破的那一刻,又該如何判斷?這部洞察權力真實運作的小書,以古今中外的政權與統治者為例——從羅馬皇帝、文藝復興時期的教宗,到殘酷冷血的漢尼拔、詭詐無比的切薩雷·博爾賈——逐一為你拆解這些難題。
提姆·帕克斯引人入勝的當代英譯本,忠實傳遞馬基維利直言不諱的原作文風,既令人警覺不安,也讓人豁然開朗——一如當年初次問世之時那般震撼。

給後來者言
Unto This Last is an essay on economy by John Ruskin, critical of the 18th and 19th century capitalist economists. When first published as four magazine articles in 1860 they were, in the words of Ruskin himself, "very violently criticized" and the publisher was force to halt publication. But Ruskin persevered and released the four articles in this book form in 1862. Gandhi read Unto This Last in…

社會契約論
如果說有一部作品,能在寥寥篇幅裡撼動整個時代的神經,那便不能不談尚-雅克·盧梭在一七六二年推出的《社會契約論》。這位出身日內瓦的思想巨人,以法文原名《Du contrat social; ou, Principes du droit politique》(亦即《社會契約論:或政治權利的原理》)寫下了這部曠世經典。
盧梭早在《論人類不平等的起源》(一七五五年)一書中,便已敏銳地洞察商業社會潛藏的種種危機;而《社會契約論》正是他對「該如何締造一個健全的政治共同體」這一根本提問的深刻作答。他毫不留情地挑戰君權神授的古老信念,堅定地主張:唯有作為主權者的人民,才真正擁有立法的至高權力。
這部擲地有聲的著作,不僅在思想界掀起滔天巨浪,更直接啟發了歐洲——尤其是法國——日後的政治改革與革命。直至今日,讀者翻開書頁,仍能感受到那份對自由與公義的灼熱呼喚。
