Composed after the author's fall from office in Florence, it is a compact, unsentimental manual on how rulers seize power, hold it, and keep their states intact.\n\nBreaking sharply with the classical tradition that treated politics as a branch of ethics, Machiavelli argues that a ruler must be prepared to act against conventional morality when necessity demands it. He weighs whether it is better to be feared or loved, why appearing virtuous can matter more than being virtuous, how fortune must be mastered rather than trusted, and why a prince's first concern must be the strength of his own arms. Drawing on the recent history of Italy's city-states and figures such as Cesare Borgia, he illustrates his maxims with cold, concrete examples.\n\nPublished in 1532, five years after his death, The Prince has been read ever since as everything from a cynical handbook for tyrants to a clear-eyed diagnosis of how power actually works.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq85kmrhhg685esqbrjxk2e.jpg","LAA+QS}p0*0,=Hw_EiE$n7xExXNc",1959,"2.33",3,176,[255],{"id":256,"slug":257,"name":258},"01kjq85kjwq0kr4s8fz4j2nx6g","niccolo-machiavelli-wdp5","Niccolò Machiavelli",[260,264,265,269,273,274,275,279,280],{"id":261,"name":262,"slug":263,"is_fiction":19},102,"Politics","politics",{"id":54,"name":55,"slug":56,"is_fiction":19},{"id":266,"name":267,"slug":268,"is_fiction":20},2,"Fantasy","fantasy",{"id":270,"name":271,"slug":272,"is_fiction":19},96,"Psychology","psychology",{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":19},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":276,"name":277,"slug":278,"is_fiction":19},70,"History","history",{"id":46,"name":47,"slug":48,"is_fiction":19},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":283,"complexity":7,"audience":232,"mood":284,"themes":287,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"slow",[285,286],"reflective","dark",[],{"id":289,"slug":290,"title":291,"description":292,"primary_cover_url":293,"cover_blurhash":294,"first_publish_year":295,"community_rating_avg":296,"community_rating_count":252,"page_count":297,"authors":298,"genres":303,"series":321,"enrichment":331},"01kjq6xk9mse69v68x4zm8v1aa","all-about-love-w4hk","All About Love","In All About Love: New Visions, cultural critic and feminist theorist bell hooks argues that our society's confusion and cynicism about love stem from a failure to understand what love truly is. Rejecting the idea of love as a mere feeling, she insists that love is an action — a practice rooted in care, commitment, trust, responsibility, respect, and honesty — and one that cannot be separated from justice.\n\nAcross a series of clear, personal, and searching essays, hooks examines how a culture shaped by patriarchy, consumerism, and domination distorts our capacity to love, from childhood and family to romance, friendship, community, and spiritual life.\n\nBlending memoir, criticism, and ethics, All About Love is both a diagnosis of a loveless culture and a hopeful blueprint for change.

That child is now Dov, a young man in the uniform of the Israeli army. The novel unfolds largely as the charged conversation among these four people, threaded with flashbacks to the day of the family's flight two decades earlier.\n\nRemarkably even-handed toward everyone caught in its story, Returning to Haifa is one of the defining works of modern Palestinian literature. Through a single wrenching reunion, Kanafani examines homeland, memory, and belonging, and reframes what it means to claim — and to fight for — a place and a people.

With the help of cryptologist Sophie Neveu—the dead man's estranged granddaughter—he flees into the Paris night, following a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci.\n\nWhat begins as a murder investigation opens onto a far older secret.

Manson's argument is simple but bracing: caring about everything leaves you exhausted and anxious, so the real skill is choosing the few things that genuinely deserve your attention and letting the rest go.\n\nDrawing on Stoic ideas, blunt personal anecdotes, and the occasional pointed profanity, Manson makes the case that struggle is unavoidable and even necessary — that a good life comes not from escaping problems but from picking better problems to have. He examines how values shape our sense of success, why entitlement and the pursuit of constant happiness backfire, and how accepting responsibility (even for things that aren't our fault) restores a sense of control.\n\nIrreverent, funny, and deliberately unglamorous, the book reframes self-improvement around honesty, limitation, and the acceptance of death rather than affirmations and hustle. It became a global bestseller and a defining title of the modern \"anti-self-help\" wave.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjtgm47p2pgd9syr8f9a7bqk.jpg","LKPK#uAs;}$OEgJ8W;w_|@bHS2o1",2016,"4.11",226,[1052],{"id":1053,"slug":1054,"name":1055},"01kjss7as6hej3mg43qmv2nqjq","mark-manson-kpvu","Mark Manson",[1057,1058,1059,1060,1061],{"id":307,"name":308,"slug":309,"is_fiction":19},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":46,"name":47,"slug":48,"is_fiction":19},{"id":937,"name":938,"slug":939,"is_fiction":19},{"id":270,"name":271,"slug":272,"is_fiction":19},[1063,1067],{"id":1064,"slug":1065,"name":1066,"position":326,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kmrwb2sjrqbnekt94pwnr58r","mark-manson-collection-qpgi","Mark Manson Collection",{"id":1068,"slug":1069,"name":1044,"position":326,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kr3f41r95fcfazy4z50rxc82","the-subtle-art-of-not-giving-a-fck-kk4t",{"pace":230,"complexity":7,"audience":232,"mood":1071,"themes":1073,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[1072,334],"funny",[],{"id":1075,"slug":1076,"title":1077,"description":1078,"primary_cover_url":1079,"cover_blurhash":1080,"first_publish_year":1081,"community_rating_avg":1082,"community_rating_count":821,"page_count":1083,"authors":1084,"genres":1097,"series":1114,"enrichment":1115},"01kjwhxxyjgxdhrk4de0p29w8x","the-forty-rules-of-love-evia","The Forty Rules of Love","Ella Rubenstein is a forty-year-old wife and mother in suburban Massachusetts whose comfortable marriage has quietly emptied of passion. When she takes a job as a reader for a literary agency, her first assignment is a manuscript called \"Sweet Blasphemy\" — a novel about the thirteenth-century poet Rumi and the wandering dervish who transformed him.\n\nThat inner novel forms the book's second thread. In the Anatolian city of Konya, the respected scholar and preacher Rumi encounters Shams of Tabriz, a restless mystic who lives by forty rules of love. Their intense spiritual friendship — built on soul-to-soul conversation the Sufis call sohbet — remakes Rumi into one of history's greatest mystical poets, but it also unsettles his household and his city.\n\nAs Ella reads, the seven centuries and two cultures separating her from Shams begin to collapse. Rumi's awakening mirrors her own dawning restlessness, and a correspondence with the manuscript's author draws her toward a life she had stopped believing was possible. Elif Shafak braids the two timelines together into a meditation on love as a force that dissolves the boundaries of self, faith, and time.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontributions\u002Fedition\u002F01\u002F01kjwhxy0tjn7r7w7d0mcekhqz_6a079a992fc1e.jpg","L8F=y-0Q02Vt03xB=skW00-j}pbb",2010,"4.83",368,[1085,1089,1093],{"id":1086,"slug":1087,"name":1088},"01kjwhxy0ck6r6rtepje2aps35","elif-safak-6ayf","Elif Şafak",{"id":1090,"slug":1091,"name":1092},"01kqnc3aac3rgmc31ddd2y4n5p","alyf-shafak-xk0e","أليف شافاك",{"id":1094,"slug":1095,"name":1096},"01kqnc3aaetjfrf1yq3drb24wj","mhmd-droysh-nbng","محمد درويش",[1098,1101,1102,1103,1104,1105,1106,1107,1108,1109,1110],{"id":585,"name":1099,"slug":1100,"is_fiction":20},"Romance","romance",{"id":179,"name":357,"slug":358,"is_fiction":20},{"id":597,"name":598,"slug":599,"is_fiction":20},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":751,"name":752,"slug":753,"is_fiction":19},{"id":1019,"name":1020,"slug":1021,"is_fiction":20},{"id":276,"name":277,"slug":278,"is_fiction":19},{"id":684,"name":685,"slug":686,"is_fiction":19},{"id":848,"name":849,"slug":850,"is_fiction":19},{"id":54,"name":55,"slug":56,"is_fiction":19},{"id":1111,"name":1112,"slug":1113,"is_fiction":20},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",[],{"pace":283,"complexity":7,"audience":232,"mood":1116,"themes":1118,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[285,1117,333],"romantic",[607],{"id":1120,"slug":1121,"title":1122,"description":1123,"primary_cover_url":1124,"cover_blurhash":1125,"first_publish_year":431,"community_rating_avg":1126,"community_rating_count":969,"page_count":1127,"authors":1128,"genres":1130,"series":1139,"enrichment":1143},"01kk1y3t4shvmkatpxf562txvb","the-five-people-you-meet-in-heaven-awia","The Five People You Meet in Heaven","Eddie is an old man, a wounded war veteran who has spent his life as the maintenance chief at Ruby Pier, a seaside amusement park, feeling that his years amounted to very little.

Each has a lesson to teach him about the meaning of his own existence: how his choices rippled outward, how the strangers and losses he never understood were connected, and how no life is truly random or without purpose.\n\nMitch Albom's beloved novel is a gentle, deeply felt parable about ordinary lives and hidden significance — a reflective story that asks readers to reconsider the quiet ways we shape one another.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kpq5qm8cywpb53j7x3ren3ts.jpg","L4RfBttjeR_200Ip*HM|4TV@GZn+","3.80",196,[1129],{"id":810,"slug":811,"name":812},[1131,1132,1133,1134,1138],{"id":1019,"name":1020,"slug":1021,"is_fiction":20},{"id":179,"name":357,"slug":358,"is_fiction":20},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":1135,"name":1136,"slug":1137,"is_fiction":20},15,"Drama","drama",{"id":1111,"name":1112,"slug":1113,"is_fiction":20},[1140],{"id":1141,"slug":1142,"name":1122,"position":326,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01knsymf22vg8b698ef9m8e1nh","the-five-people-you-meet-in-heaven-i5xf",{"pace":230,"complexity":7,"audience":232,"mood":1144,"themes":1145,"setting_period":7,"summary":1146,"content_warnings":7},[285,452,333,237,604],[],"Eddie dies saving a girl at the amusement park where he worked, and wakes in an afterlife where five people from his life explain how it all connected.",{"id":1148,"slug":1149,"title":1150,"description":1151,"primary_cover_url":1152,"cover_blurhash":1153,"first_publish_year":1154,"community_rating_avg":1155,"community_rating_count":585,"page_count":1156,"authors":1157,"genres":1162,"series":1176,"enrichment":1177},"01kjtgh0dksfdajbfc9gz8k9n8","sophies-world-hfdc","Sophie's world","Fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find two strange anonymous notes in her mailbox, each posing a single unsettling question: \"Who are you?\" and \"Where does the world come from?\" Soon a mysterious philosopher named Alberto Knox begins sending her a correspondence course in the history of Western thought, walking her from the pre-Socratics through Plato, Descartes, Kant, Marx, and Sartre.\n\nBut the lessons are tangled up in a stranger mystery.
